Most measures taken by coastal cities to adapt to climate change are „rather slow, of narrow scope and not transformative.“ This is revealed by a meta-study under the direction of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), published on Monday in „Nature Cities.“ The study analyzed results from over 199 cities in 54 countries. Specifically, it examines how climate risks – such as rising sea levels, storms, flooding or heat – affect the population, infrastructure and ecosystems and how vulnerable they are.
