Summary:

Key Vulnerabilities

• Agriculture/Food Security
• Coastal Zones and Marine Ecosystems
• Water Resources
• Public Health
• Fisheries

Potential Adaptation Measures

Agriculture and Food Security

• Switch to different cultivars
• Develop new crops

Water Resources

• Increase water supply, e.g. by using groundwater, building reservoirs, improving or stabilizing watershed management, desalination
• Decrease water demands, e.g. by increasing efficiency, reducing water losses, water recycling, changing irrigation practices

Coastal Zones and Marine Ecosystems

• Develop planning/new investment requirements
• Protect, including building sea walls, and beach nourishment
