The assessment of risk posed by climate change in coastal cities encompasses multiple climate-related hazards. Sea-level rise, flooding and erosion are important hazards, but they not the only ones. varying availability quality data across hinders ability to conduct holistic standardized multi-hazard assessments. Indeed, there far fewer studies on hazards than single Also, comparability existing methodologies becomes challenging, making it difficult establish a cohesive understanding overall vulnerability resilience cities. use indicators allows for systematic evaluation baseline different methodology developed this work establishes framework assess wide variety diverse cities, including sea-level flooding, erosion, heavy rainfall, land droughts, extreme temperatures, heatwaves, cold spells, strong winds landslides.

Europe’s marine and coastal ecosystems provide essential ecosystem services, however, their ability to support climate adaptation mitigation is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. This systematic literature review identifies evaluates integrated approaches that align conservation with adaptation, revealing untapped potential in leveraging synergies across governance, planning, management, sectoral integration. Despite extensive research both fields, interlinkages remain underexplored, implementation often fragmented early development stages. Our findings identify major nexus approaches, particularly ecosystem-based strategies, which, when effectively applied, strengthen the resilience of social-ecological systems. Central measures include climate-smart protected areas, restoration (e.g., for wetlands, reefs, dunes, seagrasses), pollution control, hybrid protection solutions. However, success hinges on cross-sectoral coordination, robust adaptive effective stakeholder engagement, long-term monitoring, financial sustainability. A critical gap integrating reflects not only a shortfall but also barriers policy practice. Addressing trade-offs between crucial maximizing while avoiding unintended socio-economic consequences. The study underscores need science-policy integration transformative governance frameworks implement strategies at scale. Strengthening regulatory coherence, into spatial expanding financing mechanisms are operationalizing these effectively. These insights pathways policymakers, researchers practitioners develop resilient, management face accelerating change.
