Abstract/Summary

Around the world coastal communities face an unprecedented challenge in responding to sea level rise and associated changes. For many responding through incremental adaptation may be appropriate (although not without limits). This may include progressively raising defences, nourishing beaches, and other conventional management measures. Such actions are well supported by existing governance structures and investment vehicles. For others however, continuing to provide protection from flooding may not be technically feasible or financially viable. For these communities, transformational adaptation will be needed (including realignment or relocation). Implementing transformational change, however, is difficult and requires a clarity of long-term planning and a means of supporting communities to take early action in making this transition.
