Climate-adaptation projects such as flood defence schemes must deliver wider societal benefits in the communities they protect to ensure long-term resilience and regeneration. This paper presents a case study of the £100 million Boston tidal barrier across the River Witham in Lincolnshire, UK, that now better protects over 13 000 homes from tidal flooding. The United Nations sustainable development goals provided a framework for monitoring and evaluating the wider benefits of the project and enabled its full societal benefits to be understood and communicated by all key project stakeholders. The primary barrier, completed in 2020, has delivered benefits against all 17 goals and is an example of how sustainability can be embedded into all aspects of a civil engineering project.

英国波士顿的潮汐屏障：适应气候变化并带来社会成果

防洪计划等气候适应项目必须在其所保护的社区中提供更广泛的社会效益，以确保长期的复原力和再生能力。本文以英国林肯郡威瑟姆河上1亿英镑的潮汐屏障为例，该案例现在可以更好地保护13000多户房屋免遭潮汐泛滥。联合国可持续发展目标为监测和评估该项目的更广泛利益提供了一个框架，并使所有关键项目利益攸关方都能理解和传达其全部社会利益。于2020年建成的主要障碍已为实现所有17个目标带来了好处，这是如何将可持续性纳入土木工程项目各个方面的一个例子。
