Shifting coasts: developing new coastal concepts
Coastal environments are closely under the radar of the impact of climate change. Approximately 680 million people live in low-lying coastal zones according to the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report from 2019.1 The report presents key threats to coastal environments...
