As the two countries chosen as examples differ significantly in their adaptation strategies and the corresponding legal regulations, the author presents general ideas on how any legal framework facing similar challenges could be improved. In particular, (flood) risk assessments, coastal defences and flood-resistant design as well as spatial and land use planning are discussed, including managed retreat. Moreover, conflicts as well as potential synergies of coastal adaptation and nature conservation are examined. Due to the thorough analysis this book is not just an essential read for policymakers and researchers interested in the coastal area but climate change adaptation in general as many general findings are transferrable to other impacts.International environmental lawPrivate international lawConflict of lawsEcology Law of the seaInternational lawInternational Environmental Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Spacehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060International environmental law.Private international law.Conflict of laws.Ecology .Law of the sea.International law.International Environmental Law.Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law .Ecology.Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Space.344.43046Schumacher Lindaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1424629MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910741158703321The Law of Coastal Adaptation3554012UNINA
