The ClimaTourism project focuses, on the identification of the vulnerability of the Cretan coast to sea level rise and associated erosion and, on the estimation of the socioeconomic risk, in terms of expected loss of land and economic activity. Its purpose is to perform risk assessment analysis in relation to socioeconomic impact of the climatic change, with the emphasis placed on the effect of sea level rise on beach tourism. It aims to improve the resilience of the existing infrastructure and socio-economic activities related to tourism and to provide to the stakeholders, governmental agencies and private sector corporations, reliable data in fields like land use planning, investment risk reduction, insurance cost estimation for a sustainable future coastal zone management. ClimaTourism is implemented in the Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas. It is implemented within the framework of the Action «Supporting Postdoctoral Researchers» of the Operational Program “Education and Lifelong Learning” (Action’s Beneficiary: General Secretariat for Research and Technology), and is co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Greek State.
