Planning for Managed Retreat: Decision Making in the Face of Climate Uncertainty

This project aimed to examine the need for, and approaches to, managed retreat in the
transportation sector. Specifically, our objectives included undertaking a comprehensive
national review of managed retreat from a community and transportation infrastructure
perspective; developing case studies and analysis, examining the processes once the decision to
retreat from higher risk areas has been made; and developing a framework for managed retreat
decision making in the face of uncertainty.
