Effects of Climate Change and Adaptation Strategies for Coastal Infrastructure

Climate change threatens global coastal regions, increasing environmental hazards like sea-level rise, coastal erosion, storm surges, and extreme weather events. These impacts place critical coastal infrastructure at risk of damage, disruption, and economic loss. As global temperatures rise, the frequency and severity of climate-related coastal increase, challenging the sustainability of infrastructure systems. Governments, engineers, and policymakers prioritize adaptation strategies to reduce vulnerability and enhance infrastructure resilience. Understanding the effects of climate change on coastal infrastructure and identifying effective adaptation measures may help further safeguard communities, support economic activities, and ensure sustainable development in coastal areas. Effects of Climate Change and Adaptation Strategies for Coastal Infrastructure explores the multidimensional impacts of climate change on coastal infrastructure, water systems, and waste management, while highlighting adaptation strategies, technological innovations, and public policies that promote the resilience of coastal areas. It examines interdisciplinary contributions from the fields of engineering, the environment, urban planning, social sciences, territorial governance, and digital technologies to propose sustainable and integrated solutions for coastal areas. This book covers topics such as environmental monitoring, sustainable development, and coastal engineering, and is a useful resource for engineers, climatologists, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
