Anthropogenic sea-level rise (SLR) is predicted to impact, and, in many cases, displace, a
large proportion of the population via inundation and heightened SLR-related hazards. With …

Faced with sea level rise and the intensification of extreme events, human populations living
on the coasts are developing responses to address local situations. A synthesis of the …

Inter-related and spatially variable climate change factors including sea level rise, increased
storminess, altered precipitation regime and increasing temperature are impacting …

Sea-level rise (SLR) is one of the most apparent climate change stressors facing human
society. Although it is known that many people at present inhabit areas vulnerable to SLR …

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 …

Society's response to every dimension of global climate change is mediated by culture. We
analyse new research across the social sciences to show that climate change threatens …

The response of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise during the twenty-first century remains
uncertain. Global-scale projections suggest that between 20 and 90 per cent (for low and …

Abstract The Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment Wetland Change Model
(DIVA_WCM) comprises a dataset of contemporary global coastal wetland stocks (estimated …

Research on the barriers and limits to climate change adaptation identifies many factors, but
describes few processes whereby adaptation is constrained or may indeed fail to avoid …

Responding to global change represents an unprecedented challenge for society. Decision
makers tend to address this challenge by framing adaptation as a decision problem …
