Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, with profound implications for coastal areas worldwide. Coastal erosion is a natural process that has been exacerbated by human activities and is now further accelerated by the effects of climate change. This research project aims to investigate the impact of climate change on coastal erosion rates in a specific region, with a focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms and assessing the potential consequences for coastal communities and ecosystems.

By examining the impacts, vulnerabilities, adaptation strategies, and policy responses, this study contributes valuable insights to the broader field of environmental science and coastal management. It is hoped that the findings will inform decision-makers, policymakers, researchers, and local communities in developing effective strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on coastal areas.
