An Innovative and Climate-Resilient Approach to Coastal Management and Adaptation for India

India’s coastal areas are increasingly confronted with escalating challenges. A priority challenge is coastal erosion and flooding, further intensified by climate change. A climate-resilient, integrated, and adaptive approach to coastal erosion is needed. To this end, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been helping India’s state governments in Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra adopt innovative climate-resilient integrated measures that will increase the resilience of coastal communities. To upscale these measures to other states, ADB is working closely with our partners to address the consequences of climate change and finance innovative approaches to a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific.
