Abstract

Coastal communities are increasingly threatened by
flooding from climate change-induced sea level rise and
potential increases in storminess. Informed decisions on
risk and resilience related to flood risk need to be made,
but the assessment process is complex. It is difficult to
bring all of the climate science and sea level rise projections to decision-making, and as a result, decisions are
made without a real understanding of the uncertainties
involved, a problem magnified the further projections go
into the future (Figure 1).
