More about the book

Focusing on law as a tool for addressing sea level rise, this work compares the adaptation strategies and legal frameworks of two distinct countries. It offers insights into enhancing legal responses through improved risk assessments, coastal defenses, flood-resistant design, and land use planning, including managed retreat. The book also explores the interplay between coastal adaptation and nature conservation. Its comprehensive analysis makes it a vital resource for policymakers and researchers engaged in climate change adaptation beyond coastal issues.
