Assessing the Impact of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in Coastal Communities

Abstract

Climate change poses significant risks to coastal communities worldwide, necessitating the development and implementation of adaptation strategies. This research paper evaluates the effectiveness of various climate change adaptation strategies in these vulnerable regions. Drawing from case studies, government reports, and scientific literature, the paper examines the social, economic, and environmental outcomes of adaptation efforts. The findings suggest that while some strategies have been successful in enhancing resilience, challenges such as funding limitations, governance issues, and the need for community involvement remain. The paper also emphasizes the importance of integrating local knowledge with scientific expertise to ensure long-term sustainability.
