Future Earth Coasts and the Integration and Application Network released a synthesis of Belmont Forum projects addressing Coastal Vulnerability and Freshwater Security. The 8-page brochure details effective methods for co-designing and co-implementing science projects with a breadth of stakeholders to move beyond established knowledge. The following link will take you to the document: Coastal vulnerability and freshwater security brochure from the first ever Belmont Forum Synthesis Workshop (held in December 2016).

The synthesis is a result of the valorization workshop facilitated by Future Earth Coasts and Integration and Application Network in December in San Francisco, California. Lessons learned within the document provide both those new and familiar with the Belmont Forum a compelling view of the research advances and stakeholder engagement supported by the Forum.

We encourage you to take a look at these new outcomes and stay tuned for future Belmont Forum opportunities.
