Adaptation Measures for Coastal Communities Facing Sea Level Rise in Africa
Coastal areas are very sensitive to climate change due to sea-level rise leading to negative impacts such as coastal erosion. The impact of sea-level rise is increased by coastal developments, land use change and population growth, and causes societal problems such as increased salinity of groundwater and soils, the necessity to migrate and loss of infrastructure. Developing countries are generally more vulnerable to coastal changes due to their limited capacity to prevent and absorb the related effects. To stimulate coastal adaptation in developing countries it is important to evaluate different adaptation strategies and identify opportunities. Potential adaptation strategies in coastal areas include hard structures, beach nourishment, ecosystem restoration, retreat, zoning and building codes.

the talk page. The historiography of the British Empire refers to the studies, sources, critical methods and interpretations used by scholars to develop a history of the British Empire. Historians and their ideas are the main focus here; specific lands and historical dates and episodes are covered in the article on the British Empire. Scholars have long studied the Empire, looking at the causes for its formation, its relations to the French and other empires, and the kinds of people who became imperialists or anti-imperialists, together with their mindsets. The history of the breakdown of the Empire has attracted scholars of the histories of the United States (which broke away in 1776), the British Raj (dissolved in 1947), and the African colonies (independent in the 1960s). John Darwin (2013) identifies four imperial goals: colonising, civilising, converting, and commerce.[1]
