The impacts of climate change on coastal geography are multifaceted. Coastal erosion, for example, is leading to the loss of beaches, dunes, and cliffs, compromising coastal infrastructure and threatening human settlements. Increased storm intensity and frequency are also causing more frequent and severe coastal flooding, damage to coastal ecosystems, and disruption to marine industries (Hallegatte et al., 2013).

Climate change is having a profound impact on coastal geography, threatening the very existence of coastal communities and ecosystems. Understanding the causes and effects of climate change on coastal geography is essential for developing effective solutions to this pressing issue. By implementing adaptation and mitigation measures, we can reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities and ecosystems to climate change, ensuring a more sustainable future for all.
