To date, projections of human migration induced by sea-level change (SLC) largely suggest large-scale displacement away from vulnerable coastlines. However, results our model Bangladesh counterintuitively that people will continue to migrate toward the coastline irrespective flooding amplified future SLC under all emissions scenarios until end this century. We developed an empirically calibrated agent-based household decision-making captures multi-faceted push, pull and mooring influences on at a scale. then exposed ~4800 000 simulated migrants 871 projected 21st-century coastal pathways. Our does not predict impacts great enough drive populations coastlines in any scenarios. One reason is while accelerate transition agricultural non-agricultural income opportunities, livelihood alternatives are most abundant cities. At same time, some unable migrate, as flood losses accumulate reduce set (so-called 'trapped' populations). even when we increased access credit, commonly-proposed policy lever for incentivizing face climate risk, found number immobile agents actually rose. These findings imply instead straightforward relationship between migration, need consider multiple constraints on, preferences for, mobility. demonstrates decision-makers seeking affect outcomes around would do well individual-level adaptive behaviors motivations evolve through potential unintended behavioral responses.

Abstract Climate change and anthropogenic pressures are widely expected to exacerbate coastal hazards such as episodic flooding. This study presents global-scale potential overtopping estimates, which account for not only the effects of sea level rise storm surge, but also wave runup at exposed open coasts. Here we find that globally aggregated annual hours have increased by almost 50% over last two decades. A first-pass future assessment indicates will accelerate faster than global mean sea-level itself, with a clearly discernible increase occurring around mid-century regardless climate scenario. Under RCP 8.5, end 21 st -century is projected be up 50 times larger compared present-day. As continues rise, more regions world become overtopping.

This review analyses global or near-global estimates of population exposure to sea-level rise (SLR) and related hazards, followed by critically examining subsequent migration due this exposure. Our identified 33 publications that provide SLR associated hazards. They fall into three main categories exposure, based on definitions in the publications: (i) impacted specified levels SLR; (ii) number people living floodplains are subject coastal flood events with a specific return period; (iii) low-elevation zones. Twenty these discuss connections between SLR. In our analysis data, we consider datasets, analytical methods, challenges estimating potential human migration. We underscore complex among SLR, its impacts, Human mobility from areas is shaped diverse socioeconomic, demographic, institutional, political factors; there may be 'trapped' populations as well those who prefer not move for social, cultural, reasons; can delayed forestalled through other adaptive measures. While exposed potentially migrating highlight significant threats low-lying at near coastlines, further research needed understand interactions localised social contexts, adaptation possibilities, (im)mobility decision-making.

Human societies will transform to address climate change and other stressors. How they choose depend on what societal values prioritize. Managed retreat can play a powerful role in expanding the range of possible futures that transformation could achieve articulating shape those futures. Consideration raises tensions about losses are unacceptable aspects maintained, purposefully altered, or allowed unaided. Here we integrate research retreat, transformational adaptation, damages losses, design decision support chart roadmap for strategic, managed retreat. At its core, this requires fundamental reconceptualization it means be strategic managed. The questions raised relevant adaptation science far beyond remit

Abstract Coastal areas are subject to hazards that can result in severe impacts due the high concentration of people and assets exposed locations. While climate-induced sea-level rise will exacerbate these course 21st century, future dynamics socioeconomic development play an important role driving – as well adaptation responses particular countries with rapid population growth low-lying coastal areas. Here, we synthesize current state knowledge related locations underlying trends affecting at continental global scales. Currently, 2.15 billion live near-coastal zone 898 million low-elevation globally. These numbers could increase 2.9 1.2 billion, respectively, depending on scenario (i.e., Shared Socioeconomic Pathway [SSP]) considered. Nevertheless, although indicate a exposure hazards, they bear limited information about actual do not include vulnerability population. Based insights, stress need account for risk assessments, including vulnerability, additionally exploring potential feedbacks migration decisions. Last, propose action points work inform long-term planning managing risks.

Abstract The exposure of populations to sea-level rise (SLR) is a leading indicator assessing the impact future climate change on coastal regions. SLR exposes spectrum impacts with broad spatial and temporal heterogeneity, but assessments often narrowly define zone flooding. Here we show how choice results in differential estimates across space time. Further, apply spatio-temporal flood-modeling approach that integrates these zones assess annual probability population exposure. We our model United States demonstrate more robust assessment flooding from any given year. Our suggest explicit decisions regarding (and associated implication) will improve adaptation planning policies by indicating relative chance magnitude be affected SLR.
