When the tide gets high: A review of adaptive responses to sea level rise and coastal floodingClimate change poses significant challenges to coastal cities. Local governments around the world are using various strategies to address sea level rise and coastal flooding.Most of these responses are reactive, developed in an ad hoc manner following a specific event, but there is an increasing recognition of the need for more comprehensive and proactive approaches. Research into the topic reflects practice, with numerous studies of particular locations or strategies providing information in a piecemeal manner lacking in comprehensive evaluations. This paper addresses this gap through a systematic literature review that identifies coastal flooding and sea level rise adaptation practices and evaluates their comparative advantages and disadvantages. The findings identify a major knowledge gap in comparative costs and benefits of alternative adaptation strategies and indicate that coastal climate adaptation needs to be tailored to local characteristics and use a combination of different structural and nonstructural measures to be effective.

“…Coastal development and adaptation to sea level rise and other effects of climate change will involve important trade-offs that weigh environmental, economic, social, and cultural values (Ehler et al 1997, Tobey et al 2010. While it has often been the practice to rely on reactive engineering solutions to coastal erosion and flooding, more proactive planning is required if crippling costs are to be avoided and effective options identified and implemented in a timely manner.…”

Bank investments in tourism and other coastal development projects have been on the rise, generating an interest in the development of instruments and tools that would more effectively inform Bank staff on critical issues, and support the management of the environmental and social risks of the Bank's portfolio. Coastal areas, which are home to the majority of the population of the LAC Region, are challenged by rising populations, sprawling and sometimes unplanned development, and the associated pressures of pollution, overexploitation of marine and freshwater resources, loss of biodiversity, severe storms, and the longer-term threats of climate change and attendant sea level rise.
