However, while economic damage (potential consequence) caused by climate change-driven coastal inundation and erosion (potential hazard) is likely to increase, foregoing land-use opportunities in coastal regions and protecting or nourishing coasts is also costly. Managing the risk of coastline recession is therefore a balancing act. To avoid unacceptable future risks, it is imperative that risk-informed and sustainable coastal planning/management strategies are implemented sooner rather than later. This requires the development of methods for comprehensive coastal risk assessments which combine state-of-the-art consequence (or damage) modeling and coastal hazard modeling. This Special Issue contains 13 papers aimed at addressing this challenge. 606 $aEnvironmental economics$2bicssc 610 $aCoastal flooding 610 $aClimate change 610 $aCoast 610 $aBeach 610 $aCoastal erosion 610 $aEstuary 610 $aCoastal Risk 615 7$aEnvironmental economics 700 $aRanasinghe$b Roshanka$01787398 702 $aJongejan$b Ruben 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346851503321 996 $aClimate Change, Coasts and Coastal Risk$94320817 997 $aUNINA
