Living Deltas Research Hub

Description

Deltas are integral to global food supplies, fish stocks, water supply, industry, trade and culture. Deltas are under threat from climate change, rising sea levels, industrial farming techniques and pollutants. It is necessary to act now to prevent the delta systems from collapsing.

Living Deltas is the leading delta science and research partnership. Climate change is a huge threat to deltas. Members are researching ways to mitigate and adapt its effects by understanding what sustainable delta livelihoods look like. To do this they focus on coastal resilience, biodiversity, youth futures, and intergenerational learning.
