A new report by PEERS provides a comprehensive overview of global leading practices in coastal resilience, based on insights from over 200 practitioners across 43 countries.
The study examines how coastal communities are addressing climate-related challenges through a range of approaches, including infrastructure innovation, nature-based solutions, and integrated planning strategies. It also identifies opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and policy development to support long-term adaptation.
Importantly, the report highlights the need for further research into emerging solutions such as floating structures, particularly in how they can be integrated into mainstream coastal adaptation frameworks.
The findings underscore the importance of combining innovation, policy support, and practical implementation to strengthen resilience, protect public health, and support economic development in coastal regions.
