The varied effects of recent extreme weather events around the world exemplify the uneven
impacts of climate change on populations, even within relatively small geographic regions …

Coastal systems are sensitive to direct and indirect impacts of climate change.
Approximately 90% of all coastal areas will be affected by climate change to varying …

Executive Summary The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use1 (AFOLU) sector
encompasses managed ecosystems and offers significant mitigation opportunities while …

The need to adapt to climate change is now widely recognised as evidence of its impacts on
social and natural systems grows and greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. Yet …

Multiple natural and anthropogenic processes alter the carbonate chemistry of the coastal
zone in ways that either exacerbate or mitigate ocean acidification effects. Freshwater inputs …

Local governments are not adapting to sea-level rise because it is difficult to build
consensus on the need for change and the best way to implement it. In theory, adaptation …

While sea-level rise could flood and displace hundreds of millions of people, a range of
studies have shown that adaptation in the form of coastal protection can be very effective …

This paper identifies the low-elevation coastal zone (LECZ) populations and developing
regions most vulnerable to sea-level rise and other coastal hazards, such as storm surges …

Coastal vulnerability is a spatial concept that identifies people and places that are
susceptible to disturbances resulting from coastal hazards. Hazards in the coastal …
