Sea Level Rise Adaptation
Sea level rise adaptation involves planning and implementing measures to protect communities and ecosystems from rising oceans due to climate change. This includes constructing flood barriers, restoring natural buffers like mangroves and wetlands, elevating buildings and infrastructure, and modifying land use to reduce vulnerability. The goal is to reduce risks of flooding, erosion, and damage while maintaining safety and resilience. Adaptation strategies are tailored to local conditions and can be proactive, helping communities respond effectively as sea levels continue to rise over time.
