AI, Ocean and Coastal Territories: Turning Climate Science into Actionable Insights

EDHEC Climate Institute and Scientific Climate Ratings will participate in the Tideline Ecosystem Kick Off, a high-level breakfast event organized by Waves of Change, bringing together institutional stakeholders, investors, and public partners to start the year with a focus on collaboration, innovation, and impact.

This edition will focus on AI, the Ocean, and Coastal Territories, addressing key challenges related to climate risk, resilience, and sustainable development in coastal areas.

The event will highlight Waves of Change initiatives on AI and sustainability, as well as collaborative actions developed with key partners, including Bpifrance and the French Ministry for Ecological Transition (Ecolab).

The morning will conclude with a networking breakfast, offering participants the opportunity to engage in informal discussions and strengthen collaborations across the ecosystem.

EDHEC Climate Institute & Scientific Climate Ratings Contributions

EDHEC Climate Institute will present its latest research on climate risks affecting coastal infrastructure, highlighting how enhanced risk assessment methodologies can support anticipation, planning, and informed decision-making for coastal territories.

Scientific Climate Ratings will present its CRR climate rating methodology, demonstrating how robust climate science can be translated into decision-useful financial insights, through a concrete use case focused on coastal infrastructure.

About Waves of Change

Waves of Change is a non-profit organization supporting the transition of coastal cities and their ecosystems towards greater resilience and sustainability. Since 2019, it has convened a global multi-stakeholder coalition to address the strategic challenges faced by coastal territories through concrete innovation and conservation projects. These initiatives cover seven priority areas, coastal adaptation, water management, waste management and circularity, energy transition, sustainable mobility, biodiversity and public health, and sustainable tourism and local communities, supported by two cross-cutting pillars: financing and talent.

Its activities are structured around an annual international forum in Biarritz, France, and are extended year-round through the Coastal Cities Impact Facility, a dedicated platform designed to initiate, structure, scale, and finance high-impact projects, complemented by targeted community and ecosystem events.
