Technologies for Averting, Minimizing and Addressing Loss and Damage in Coastal Zones

The policy brief provides information on an array of technologies – hardware, software, and orgware – currently available to assess risks, reduce risks, recover and rehabilitate from the impacts of climate change in coastal zones. It also highlights challenges and opportunities of these technologies where improvements can be made to help countries prepare better to deal with adverse impacts of climate change in coastal zones. The policy brief is the result of collaborative work of the TEC and WIM Executive Committee with valuable contribution from experts in these areas and inputs from the Expert Dialogue on technologies for averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage in coastal zone held in conjunction with the Bonn Climate Change conference in June 2019.
