Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present measures that deal with the governance of coastal risks associated with climate change. The focus is on measures entailing collective action at the local, regional, or national levels, and involving the private sector, the public sector, and/or civil society. Key risk mitigation options that are the product of collective action include insurance schemes, spatial planning, business continuity planning, postflood recovery, risk communication, and evacuation planning.
