Tens of millions of Americans face significant risks from sea level rise, increased tidal flooding, and intensifying storms. The design and policy decisions that have shaped coastal areas urgently require updates to enable communities to better adapt to the changing climate. A Blueprint for Coastal Adaptation presents a bold new research and policy agenda, offering implementable options for coastal communities.
In this comprehensive book, esteemed coastal adaptation experts delve into the interconnected challenges facing communities grappling with sea level rise and heightened storm impacts. These issues extend far beyond land use planning, encompassing housing policy, financing for public infrastructure, insurance, promoting healthier coastal ecosystems, and more. Chapters provide a clear-eyed perspective on how we can navigate the complexities and chart a course for thriving coastal communities. They offer a range of climate adaptation policies that aim to protect coastal communities against increasing risk while preserving their economic value, natural environments, and community and cultural values. Lessons are drawn from coastal communities across the United States to present equitable solutions.
The book serves as a valuable tool for evaluating necessary trade-offs and fostering more comprehensive thinking about the future of coastal communities. Coastal adaptation will undoubtedly be challenging, but proactive planning is crucial for the survival of many communities. A Blueprint for Coastal Adaptation will inspire innovative and cross-disciplinary thinking about coastal policy at the state and local levels, providing actionable, realistic policy and planning options for adaptation professionals and policymakers.
