| Abstract | Climate change is already impacting the 50% of humanity that lives along coasts Population densities in coastal regions are about three times higher than the global average, with 23 per cent of the world's population living both within 100 kilometer distance of the coast and less than 100 meters above sea level. Sixty percent of the world's cities with a population of over 5 million are located within 100 kilometers of the coast. Many of the world's poorest communities also live along the coast and rely on mangrove and reef-based fisheries for food security and on tourism for foreign exchange, particularly in small islands and tropical developing countries. This, coupled with poor adaptive capacity of the local populations and the governments, makes these areas highly vulnerable. |
