Coastal communities urged to plan retreat from rising seas now
Original: Coastal communities must plan retreat from coastlines now or face higher costs later
The Council of Europe is warning that coastal communities must begin planning a managed retreat from vulnerable coastlines immediately, arguing that delays will only drive up the eventual costs of relocation and adaptation. The message highlights growing pressure on governments to confront sea-level rise and climate impacts through early, coordinated planning rather than reactive spending after disasters strike.
Why now: Rising awareness of sea-level rise and climate adaptation costs is putting managed coastal retreat on the policy agenda.
