For our partners, coastal municipalities in the Baltic Sea region, and all stakeholders dedicated to building a resilient future for coastal tourism, this guide is designed to be your go-to resource.

• 📊 Promoting Informed Decision-Making: Learn how to access and utilize relevant climate information to guide your adaptation planning and decision-making.
• 🛠️ Developing Effective Adaptation Strategies: Discover practical methodologies and recommendations for creating and implementing locally-relevant, community-supported adaptation pathways for coastal tourism.
• 📚 Sharing Knowledge and Best Practices: Benefit from the documented experiences and lessons learned from successful community-based adaptation projects, including our very own Beach-SOS project in Saulkrasti, Latvia.

To complement these guidelines, we invite you to explore our interactive Story Map: ‘From the Ground up: Building Climate Resilience’ .
