Communities around the Humber are at risk from tidal, river, surface and groundwater flooding. Nearly half a million people, 14,000 businesses, and more than 120,000 hectares of agricultural land are already at risk from tidal flooding on and around the estuary and its major tributaries. The risk and impact of tidal flooding is increasing due to climate change and predicted sea level rise.
What is the Humber Adaptation Pathway Project?
How flood risk is managed in the Humber over the long-term will need to change, to ensure communities and businesses can adapt and continue to thrive. The Humber 2100+ partnership (Environment Agency and 12 local authorities) is developing a new adaptive strategy to manage tidal flood risk and increase resilience for the next 100 years.
What do we want to achieve and why?
The Humber Adaptation Pathways Project (HAP) will develop a framework for implementation of the Humber 2100+ Adaptation Pathway. This will include understanding how we’ll use the information we gather (such as climate evidence; growth and development; investment and funding opportunities; and other changes to the local environment) to help make decisions, and how we work together.
We will also begin to understand the challenges we might face in the future - allowing us time to develop solutions.
The HAP will run alongside the development of the new Humber 2100+ strategy, and the findings from the project will feed into the final stage of the strategy itself. The project has 6 primary outcomes:
The development of a governance structure and associated decision-making framework
An adaptation pathway framework, aligned with the Humber 2100+ project
A data and evidence strategy that enables us to access the inputs that we need - making use of existing available data and evidence, but with the flexibility to accommodate changes in key assumptions
A web-based collaborative tool to aid informed collaborative decision making within the partnership
A draft evaluation strategy to both track progress with adaptations adopted across the estuary against a range of outcomes and to inform decision-making on future adaptations
An agile learning and sharing process developed into a long-term legacy plan to support implementation of adaptation pathways across the national programme
