Abstract Major airports are already at risk of coastal flooding. Sea level rise associated with a global mean temperature 2 °C would place 100 below sea level, whilst 1238 in the Low Elevation Coastal Zone. A analysis has assessed to terms expected annual disruption routes. The method integrates globally available data airport location, flight routes, extreme water levels, standards flood prote...

Faced with sea level rise and the intensification of extreme events, human populations living on coasts are developing responses to address local situations. A synthesis literature coastal adaptation allows us highlight different strategies. Here, we analyze these strategies according complexity their implementation, both institutionally technically. First, distinguish two opposing paradigms – ...

Abstract The African coast contains heritage sites of ‘Outstanding Universal Value’ that face increasing risk from anthropogenic climate change. Here, we generated a database 213 natural and 71 cultural to assess exposure coastal flooding erosion under moderate (RCP 4.5) high 8.5) greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Currently, 56 (20%) are at 1-in-100-year extreme event, including the iconic rui...
