​FORESIGHTING SUSTAINABLE COASTAL
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURES (IWP1)

FOCI’s Integration Work Package on ‘Foresighting Sustainable Coastal Community Infrastructures’ carries out activities to help FOCI and OFI achieve the objective of designing infrastructures to enhance the capacity of ocean industries and coastal communities in Atlantic Canada to safely, sustainably, and inclusively respond to change. Human response to change can be inactive, reactive or proactive. This Integration Work Package explores and extends techniques of i) full spectrum sustainability evaluation, ii) strategic foresighting, and iii) process mapping/monitoring and performance measurement (PMPM) to help regenerate/redesign/adapt infrastructures across the spectrum from ecological through built to economic, cultural and institutional/governance infrastructures.
