Green Tides is a science podcast about coastal resilience, climate change and the future of the world’s coasts. Across five episodes, we follow the science, the people and the ideas shaping more resilient coastlines. We look at how sea-level rise, stronger storms, coastal erosion, pollution and environmental pressure are reshaping coastal areas worldwide, and how communities, researchers and institutions are learning to respond. From ocean literacy and the Digital Twin of the Ocean to island communities, environmental justice and co-designed solutions, each episode turns complex ocean science into stories you can understand and act on. Because protecting the coast doesn’t mean freezing it in time. It means understanding change, building resilience and learning to live with the ocean more responsibly. Green Tides is a podcast by the DCC-CR (Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience), produced by Podstar.

    What if the coasts we love are changing faster than we think? In the trailer of Green Tides, we set off on a journey into coastal resilience, where climate change, rising seas, intensifying storms and accelerating erosion are reshaping beaches, cliffs, ecosystems and coastal communities around the world. We meet the people, science and projects working to protect what we love asking how coastal environments and societies can adapt, resist and recover by learning how to face it. Follow Green Tides and get closer to the science, people and ideas shaping the future of our coasts. Visit our website: https://centri.unibo.it/dcc-cr/en/green-tides-resilience-conversations

  • Why Coastal Resilience Matters: A Historical and Systemic Perspective

    Why Coastal Resilience Matters: A Historical and Systemic Perspective
    Jun 8 2026
    What does coastal resilience actually mean? And why does it shape the future of every coastline on Earth? In this opening episode of Green Tides, we trace how coastal resilience moved from a niche term to a global priority, from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and Agenda 2030 to the UN Ocean Decade. Then we get concrete, exploring how sea-level rise, coastal erosion, pollution and the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) are reshaping coastal environments and the communities that depend on them. You’ll come away understanding why protecting the coast is not about freezing it in time, but about helping coastal ecosystems and societies adapt, resist and recover under change. Featuring Prof. Nadia Pinardi, Director of the Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience (DCC-CR) and oceanographer; Prof. Elena Fabbri, Marine Physiologist and Head of the Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences, University of Bologna; and Prof. Greta Tellarini, Full Professor of Navigation and Transport Law, Department of Law, University of Bologna.
