Coastal Resilience and Climate Change

This book provides practical strategies for enhancing coastal resilience in the face of climate change, sea level rise, and flood risk. It focuses on blue carbon, sustainable wetlands, estuarine buffers, and nature-based solutions that protect coastal ecosystems and communities. Ideal for professionals seeking actionable insights into climate adaptation and coastal protection.

Learn how blue carbon ecosystems such as mangroves and seagrass meadows contribute to carbon sequestration and climate mitigation. Discover the role of sustainable wetlands in flood protection, water quality, and long-term ecosystem services. Understand how estuarine buffers reduce coastal erosion and absorb storm surges to protect vulnerable shorelines. Get insights into implementing nature-based solutions alongside traditional infrastructure for resilient coastal systems. Explore methods for integrating coastal resilience planning into local, regional, and national climate change adaptation strategies. Evaluate threats from sea level rise, ocean acidification, and habitat degradation using evidence-based risk frameworks. Identify scalable solutions for ecosystem restoration, biodiversity protection, and sustainable land-use in coastal zones. Access tools and frameworks for aligning climate resilience strategies with SDGs and national climate action plans.

Packed with high-impact, science-based strategies, this book is essential for readers working in coastal resilience, climate change adaptation, flood protection, and sustainable water management.
