This state of the art assessment comes from a broad range of
experts in academia, private industry, state and local
governments, NGOs, professional societies, and impacted
communities. It includes case studies on topics such as adaptive
capacity; climate change effects on. It highlights past climate
trends, projected climate change and vulnerabilities, and impacts
to specific sectors.

Rich in science and case studies, it examines the latest climate
change impacts, scenarios, vulnerabilities, and adaptive capacity
for nine major coastal regions of the United States and provides
essential guidance for decision-makers – as well as environmental
academics, professionals, and advocates – who seek to better
understand how climate variability and change impact the US
coasts and its communities.
