In this lecture
- Cost a localised action against a unit-cost reference
- Include operation and maintenance
- Present a cost range, not a single figure
Costing what the national plan left blank
National adaptation plans frequently cost a priority at a national scale, or not at all. This lecture builds a bottom-up cost for one localised action - a coastal buffer strip for a specific stretch of shoreline - including the maintenance line that most provincial submissions leave out.
A range, honestly bounded, survives review
A single costed figure invites challenge the moment ground conditions differ from the assumption behind it. A cost presented as a bounded range, with the assumptions stated, survives scrutiny because it has already admitted where it could be wrong.
