An innovative and climate-resilient approach to coastal management and adaptation for India

This brochure highlights an innovative Asian Development Bank (ADB) approach to coastal management based on the adoption of integrated climate-resilient measures to increase the resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems. India’s coastal areas are experiencing increasing challenges. A priority area is tackling coastal erosion and flooding, which is being further intensified by climate change.

This approach is inclusive and supported by the application of innovative technologies and tailored capacity-building actions. It features case studies and examples from ADB projects that outline successful initiatives for enhancing resilience and ensuring sustainable development of India's coastal areas.
