Resiliencia costera

Las regiones costeras están a la vanguardia del cambio climático, lidiando con la subida del nivel del mar, el empeoramiento de las tormentas y el rápido aumento de la erosión.

Con casi el 40% de la población mundial y las infraestructuras críticas, en particular los puertos marítimos que soportan aproximadamente el 90% del comercio internacional, situados a lo largo de las costas, los riesgos son elevados.

Reforzar la resiliencia costera mediante inversiones estratégicas en infraestructuras no sólo es prudente, sino imperativo para proteger vidas, sostener economías y preservar ecosistemas frente a las crecientes amenazas de los peligros provocados por los desastres climáticos.
