Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to Africa's coastal regions, threatening ecosystems, infrastructure, livelihoods, and the wellbeing of millions of people. Rising sea levels, coastal erosion, flooding, biodiversity loss, and extreme weather events are increasingly reshaping the continent's coastal landscapes, demanding innovative and sustainable responses.
This contributed volume brings together leading scholars, researchers, and practitioners to explore cutting-edge approaches for enhancing coastal resilience across Africa. Through interdisciplinary perspectives and evidence-based case studies, this volume examines the role of technological innovation, geospatial tools, nature-based solutions, integrated coastal governance, climate communication, local and indigenous knowledge systems, citizen science, ocean literacy, and community-driven adaptation in addressing complex coastal challenges.
The book highlights practical strategies for strengthening climate resilience in vulnerable coastal communities while promoting environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and economic development. Attention is given to the experiences of African countries and coastal populations at the forefront of climate impacts, offering valuable lessons for policymakers, development practitioners, researchers, and students. Through showcasing innovative solutions and transformative pathways for adaptation, this volume contributes to ongoing efforts to achieve sustainable coastal futures in Africa and beyond. It serves as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand and address the intersection of climate change, coastal resilience, and sustainable development in the twenty-first century.
