Abstract:

Javier L. Lara addressed adaptations of coastal defence systems under climate uncertainty. He emphasized the importance of risk-based approaches consistent with IPCC frameworks, accounting for non-stationary drivers, compound hazards, and local relative sea-level change. Adaptive pathways, monitoring, and staged decision-making were presented as key strategies to manage long-term uncertainty in coastal engineering.
