Unraveling coastal sea level changes since 1900 with Sonke Dangendorf

This week, the Climate Adaptation in the Gulf of Guinea Cluster held a workshop entitled, "Resilient Coasts: Sustainable Frameworks for Climate Adaptation in the Gulf of Guinea." The Cluster is considering climate adaptation strategies to coastal erosion in Abidjan, Accra, and Lagos that would be technically feasible, that could be implemented, and that would garner political support. The strategies include coastal defense to protect high value stretches of the coast; livelihood protection in situ, examining how to make coastal communities floodable but functional; and livelihood protection ex situ, the option of voluntary non-temporary resettlement of vulnerable coastal populations, either with or without compensation. An analysis of past and future sea level rise across the Gulf of Guinea and probabilistic projections of sea level change to 2100 CE will inform the Cluster’s understanding of the social and economic risks of erosion and flooding on six different vulnerable communities in these cities.
