ATLAS of European coastal heritage landscapes typologies and climate change impacts

RescueME is a Research Action funded by the Horizon Europe programme, focusing on enhancing the resilience of coastal cultural landscapes in Europe. RescueME mobilizes resources, engages stakeholders, facilitates decision making, and enhances the implementation of co-created and just resilience solutions to protect our common heritage.
Extended Data Description
The RescueME Atlas contains two types of information:
a) Five typologies of landscapes characterising the 513 coastal NUTS3 regions with regards to their natural, built, social, human and financial capital.
b) Risk assessments for the 513 coastal NUTS3 regions with regards to the risk of pluvial and river floods, landslides, coastal floods, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves and poor air quality.
With respect to the typologies, it is important to note that the resulting clusters do not imply any judgment or sequence, they are descriptive of the underlying indicators. Further, clusters can only be interpreted relative to each other. For example, if a region is characterised as having a male dominated workforce (with a gender employment gap > 15%), the term “male dominated” is relative to the other coastal NUTS3 regions analysed. It is possible that inland NUTS3 regions outside the scope of the analyses feature an even higher gender employment gap.
