Today we are already feeling the consequences of climate change through increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall, heat waves, storms and coastal flooding. Since their onset can no longer be prevented, it is necessary to focus efforts on adaptation and mitigate their consequences through timely planning and the implementation of appropriate measures.
Spatial planning plays a key role in this process. It guides the sustainable development of space, determines the purpose of land and sea areas, and harmonises various development interests. Climate change today represents one of the greatest challenges to modern spatial planning, which is why it is becoming one of the most important instruments for adapting to climate change and strengthening the resilience of an area.
Scientific research and projections of future climate scenarios indicate that sea levels will continue to rise throughout this century. This makes the adaptation of coasta...
