The Earth's climate is changing; ice sheets and glaciers are melting and coastal hazards
and sea level are rising in response. With a total population of over 300 million people …

Adaptation pathways have experienced growing popularity as a decision-focussed
approach in climate adaptation research and planning. Despite the increasing and …

Sea-level rise will radically redefine the coastline of the 21 st century. For many coastal
regions, projections of global sea-level rise by the year 2100 (eg, 0.5–2 meters) are …

Cities and settlements (C&S) by the sea are on the frontline of climate change—they face
climate-compounded risks that are amongst the highest, but are a key source of innovation …

Flood risk management in the USA is largely embedded in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP). Climate change and increasing exposure in flood plains pose a challenge …

Abstract Models for supporting climate adaptation and mitigation planning, mostly in the form
of Integrated Assessment Models, are poorly equipped for aiding questions related to …
