Coastal Climate Adaptation Strategies

Coastal climate adaptation strategies involve planning and actions to reduce the risks posed by climate change-related impacts like rising sea levels, intensified storms, and erosion. These include building seawalls, restoring natural barriers like mangroves and dunes, zoning laws to prevent construction in vulnerable areas, and designing infrastructure to withstand extreme weather. The goal is to protect communities, ecosystems, and economic activities while allowing coexistence with changing coastal environments. These strategies are necessary for minimizing damage, ensuring safety, and promoting sustainable development along coastlines facing climate change challenges.
