The Paris agreement target of limiting global surface warming to 1.5-2°C compared pre-industrial levels by 2100 will heavily impact the ocean. While ambitious mitigation and adaptation are both needed, ocean provides major opportunities for action reduce climate change globally its impacts on vital ecosystems ecosystem services. A comprehensive systematic assessment 13 global- local-scale, ocean-based measures was performed help steer development implementation technologies actions towards a...
Abstract Constraints and limits to adaptation are critical understanding the extent which human natural systems can successfully adapt climate change. We conduct a systematic review of 1,682 academic studies on responses identify patterns in constraints for different regions, sectors, hazards, response types, actors. Using definitions provided by Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC), we find that most literature identifies but there is limited focused adaptation. Central South...
Coastal cities are at the frontlines of climate change impacts, resulting in an urgent need for substantial adaptation. To understand whether, and to what extent, on track prepare risks, this paper systematically assesses academic literature evaluate evidence adaptation 199 coastal worldwide. Results show that is rather slow, narrow scope not transformative. Adaptation measures predominantly designed based past current—rather than future—patterns hazards, exposure vulnerability. City...
Governments, businesses, and civil society organizations have diverse policy tools to incentivize adaptation. Policy can shape the type extent of adaptation, therefore, function either as barriers or enablers for reducing risk vulnerability. Using data from a systematic review academic literature on global adaptation responses climate change (n = 1549 peer-reviewed articles), we categorize types used We apply qualitative quantitative analyses assess contexts where particular are used, along...
.The Red Sea Project (TRSP) is a development that extends over 28,000 km2 along the shores of will progress to become sustainable luxury tourism destination on west coast Kingdom Saudi Arabia. The incorporates Al Wajh lagoon, pristine 2,081 area includes 92 islands with valuable habitats (coral reefs, seagrass and mangroves) species global conservation importance. Development Company, responsible for execution TRSP, has committed achieve net-positive impact biodiversity while developing site...
For millennia, coastal and marine ecosystems have adapted flourished in the Red Sea’s unique environment. Surrounded by deserts on all sides, Sea is subjected to high dust inputs receives very little freshwater input, so harbors a salinity. Coral reefs, seagrass meadows, mangroves flourish this environment provide socio-economic environmental benefits bordering coastlines countries. Interestingly, while coral reef are currently experiencing rapid decline global scale, those appear be...
Abstract We present the first systematic, global stocktake of academic literature on human adaptation. screen 48,316 documents and identify 1,682 articles that empirical research documenting efforts to reduce risk from climate change associated hazards. Coding synthesizing this highlights overall extent adaptation across regions sectors is low. Adaptations are largely local incremental rather than transformative. Behavioural adjustments by individuals households more prevalent any other type...
Coastal areas are dynamic multidimensional systems challenged by the complex interactions between natural, environmental, and human-induced pressures, as well ever-changing climate. A comprehensive evaluation of their spatial temporal features enables development effective practices required to apply integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) policies. ICZM seeks address vulnerability in an attempt mitigate weaknesses increase resilience. Hence, assessment is a prerequisite proceed with...

Small fishing harbours substantially contribute to coastal economies as they support not only but also tourism activities. They are located at the land–sea interface and considered vulnerable infrastructure affected by increased human activities impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels extreme weather events. In this paper, 16 existing shelters Cyprus used a case study develop complex vulnerability index for assessing shelters’ vulnerability. The incorporates physical,...
Seaport infrastructure monitoring promotes the development of an effective management system that ensures functionality, structural capacity and safety. Monitoring approaches are considered to be a useful tool in attempt deal with growing global trends, such as seaport “smartness”, or challenging issues climate crisis, while enhancing financial performance capability remain competitive trading environment. Therefore, present paper proposes framework for integrating processes relevant data...
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) localisation describes the complex process of translating 2030 Agenda for within local context and challenges, defining, implementing monitoring actions strategies that contribute to global achievement SDGs. This article seeks address this issue by assessing progress six isolated Greek islands towards achieving SDGs, namely Karpathos, Chalki, Tilos, Symi, Kasos Megisti (Kastellorizo), through quantification relevant indicators. In an attempt perceive...
Life-cycle considerations are a prerequisite for rational seaport engineering design and planning since they actually retain seaports’ resilience operational effectiveness. However, the current climate crisis poses threats to of existing infrastructure, leading functional degradation structural failures. Life-cycle-oriented approaches have been proposed tackle these issues constitute an important element rehabilitation schemes. This paper uses case study Evdilos Port in Ikaria Island, Greece...
