Study of adaptation to climate change of the Asturian coast
Description
Climate Risk Analysis on the Asturian coast
Coastal systems are particularly vulnerable to rising average sea levels and changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. In addition to the risk of permanent flooding in low-lying areas due to mean sea level rise (NMM), other impacts of climate change include increased erosion on beaches and cliffs, degradation of coastal ecosystems, and saline intrusion. The most significant changes will occur in NMM, ambient temperature and sea surface temperature.
On the coast there are complex interactions between the natural and socio-economic systems that suggest that the consequences of climate change can manifest themselves in many ways. Risk assessment analyses make it possible to identify the areas most exposed to different impacts, understand their origin, identify their extent and severity and assist in the preparation of management plans and decision-making such as adaptation strategies.
