摘要: Abstract Dramatic loss of life and economic losses in coastal zones have focused attention on natural man-made hazards. The paper starts with a review the vulnerability terminology. Coastal are then presented as complex, socio-ecological systems. Four main hotspots vulnerability; namely Arctic coasts, small islands, river-mouth systems urban coasts (including megacities) analysed to demonstrate complexity vulnerability. A DPSIR framework is used explore causes consequences focuses particular societal, well floods, storm-surges tsunamis technological engineering solutions. These include raising awareness, advancing forecasting, enhancing preparedness improving governance.
