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. Hallegatte, S

The Maldives, a low-lying island nation in the Indian Ocean, is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. Rising sea levels and increased storm intensity are causing widespread coastal erosion, flooding, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources. The Maldives government has implemented various measures to mitigate these impacts, including the construction of sea walls, beach nourishment, and relocation of at-risk communities (Shah et al., 2017). Future flood losses in major coastal cities

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, with far-reaching consequences for the environment, human societies, and the economy. One of the most vulnerable areas to climate change is coastal geography, where rising sea levels, increased storm intensity, and altered ocean chemistry are altering the very fabric of coastlines around the world. This paper will explore the impacts of climate change on coastal geography, highlighting the causes, effects, and potential solutions to this pressing issue.
