As a result, implementation of adaption measures will be stimulated across the 2 Seas, leading to a 15% reduction in future costs from flooding evidenced by: 30% increase in local actions from 4 national adaptation strategies that are costed, timed and integrated into delivery mechanisms. 1000 stakeholders co-creating future-proofed actions. 15% increase in delivery of local adaptation measures. 24 organisations reducing the impacts of floods by adopting the STAR2Cs solution in decision-making.
