Coastal Resilience

Les régions côtières sont en première ligne face au changement climatique, confrontées à l’élévation du niveau de la mer, à l’intensification des tempêtes et à une érosion accélérée.

Près de 40 % de la population mondiale et des infrastructures essentielles — notamment les ports maritimes assurant environ 90 % du commerce mondial — sont situés le long des littoraux, ce qui en fait des zones particulièrement exposées.

Renforcer la résilience côtière par des investissements stratégiques dans les infrastructures n’est pas seulement judicieux : c’est une nécessité absolue pour protéger les vies humaines, soutenir les économies et préserver les écosystèmes face à des aléas climatiques de plus en plus menaçants.
