The implications on the UK of the impacts of climate change and sea-level rise on critical coastal infrastructure overseas, 2010 to 2100:
The objective of this study is to address this deficiency and assess the potential implications on the UK of the physical and socio-economic impacts of climate change on coastal infrastructure around the world with an emphasis on sea-level rise. Using a synthesis of the existing scientific literature and policy-related documents, the study explores the physical environment and associated critical infrastructure in the coastal sector worldwide; the potential changes to coastal environments and the potential demand for new infrastructure; societal impacts and potential implications of sea-level rise on infrastructure elsewhere in the world, and the current and predicted potential threats and opportunities of these on the UK’s citizens, government, and businesses. The report also discusses the potential implications on UK’s future adaptation policy.
