European Coastal Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation: A review of evidence
ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2010/7

Released: 2010/12/07: See the report

Abstract
This paper reviews evidence of the impacts of climate change on Europe’s coasts. It focuses on areas that are particularly vulnerable and identifies adaptation policies, measures and actions aimed at increasing their resilience.
The review will contribute to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) forthcoming coastal assessment, which will support the European Commission’s (EC) Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) strategy review. This assessment will take an integrated approach to coastal and maritime space.
