Description

In this study, the economics of climate change adaptation in EU coastal areas are explained from what has already been observed and are benchmarked with the latest insights stemming from the scientific literature. Chapter I describes the scientific literature perspective of climate change adaptation in Europe’s coastal zones. Chapter II provides a detailed observations based assessment of (the economics of) coastal protection and climate change adaptation practices across Europe. The comparison of observed facts and figures with scientific literature insights is presented in Chapter III. Lastly, recommendations are made and conclusions drawn.
