Global Warming And Its Effects On Coastal Zones

Global warming, driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, significantly impacts coastal zones worldwide. These effects include rising sea levels, increased coastal erosion, more frequent and severe storms, and loss of biodiversity. This article explores these impacts and discusses mitigation and adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities and ecosystems.

Engaging local communities in climate adaptation efforts is vital for success. Educating residents about the risks of global warming and involving them in planning and decision-making processes can lead to more effective and sustainable solutions. Community-based initiatives, such as planting mangroves or developing early warning systems for storms, empower people to protect their own environments.
