The PEARL institutional ABM simulating authorities' decision making for the selection of resilience strategies

PEARL is a project aiming to develop adaptive risk management strategies for coastal communities against extreme hydro-meteorological events, minimising social, economic and environmental impacts and increasing the resilience of Coastal Regions in Europe.

PEARL's specific objectives are to:

• develop a holistic risk governance framework
• increase the understanding of dominant root causes of vulnerabilities and risks in coastal regions
• improve the comprehension of the co-evolution of disasters due to extreme hydrometeorological events
• develop new monitoring, modeling, forecasting and warning technologies tailored on the social, technical, institutional, organisational and economic realities of coastal communities
• provide the means to strengthen risk governance and empower all stakeholders
• build a pan-European knowledge to support capacity development for the delivery of cost-efective risk-reduction plans

PEARL received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration (EU-FP7) under the theme "Coasts at threat in Europe: tsunamis and climate-related risks" (ENV.2013.6.4-3) and collaborates with other relevant FP7 projects, such as RISC-KIT and ASTARTE under the same topic.
