The Impact

Dampak pemanasan global, yaitu berupa kenaikan muka laut dengan kecepatan 2-8 mm/tahun yang tampaknya lambat dan tidak berarti, akan tetapi dalam 100 tahun mendatang kenaikan muka laut tersebut mampu untuk menggenangi kawasan pesisir P. Jawa yang memiliki morfologi pantai yang landai dan bersudut lereng kecil. Kenaikan muka laut merupakan bencana alam yang lambat dan bisa diprediksi, namun dengan sifat yang demikian justru manusia cenderung lupa segera menanganinya. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengantisipasi kemungkinan terjadinya bencana, serta mengurangi bahkan memperkecil dampak negatif risiko bencana tersebut, perlu memasukan komponen manajemen risiko bencana alam (risk management of natural disaster) di dalam penyusunan tata ruang wilayah (RTRW). Kata kunci: kenaikan muka laut, manajemen risiko bencana alam, Pulau Jawa, pesisir The impact of global warming, in the form of sea level rise by the rate 2-8 mm/year which seems slow and insignificant, but in the next 100 years sea level rise are can inundate coastal areas of Java which has a low slope beach morphology and small slope angles. Sea-level rise is a natural disaster that slow and predictable, but the nature of such people tend to forget it immediately. Therefore, to anticipate disasters and reduce or even minimize the negative impact of disaster risks, it is need to include components of risk management of natural disaster in the preparation of the spatial planning.

Climate change and sea level rise present significant risks to coastal governments’ fiscal and service solvency. Current lack of focus on climate change by the U.S. federal and some state governments pressures coastal governments to develop tractable solutions to manage localized risks. This research integrates adaptive governance and capital planning literatures to develop an adaptive risk management framework. Heeding the call for research of coastal county actions to plan for and respond to climate change, we conduct content analysis of planning documents, financial reports, meeting minutes, media reports, and other documentation of all coastal counties in Florida to quantify government efforts to address climate change. Risk management practices are hierarchically categorized by focus area, risk type, and tactic and placed within the adaptive risk management process framework. A well-functioning adaptive risk management process can redefine vague climate change risks into knowable, tractable problems to address.

Coastal Risk

Iberian coastal cities are subject to significant risks in the next decades due to climate change-induced sea-level rise. These risks are quite uncertain depending on several factors. In this article, we estimate potential economic damage in 62 Iberian coastal cities from 2020 to 2100 using regional relative sea-level rise data under three representative concentration pathways (RCP 8.5, RCP 4.5 and RCP 2.6). We analyze the expected accumulated damage costs if no adaptation actions take place and compare this scenario to the investment cost of some adaptation strategies being implemented. The results show that some adaptation strategies are less costly than the potential damage under inaction. In other words, it is economically rational to invest in adaptation even in a context of high uncertainty. These calculations are very relevant to inform climate change adaptation decisions and to better manage the risk posed by sea-level rise. Moreover, our findings show the importance of a good understanding of the shape of the sea-level rise and damage cost distributions to calculate the expected damage. We show that using the 50th percentile for these calculations is not adequate as it leads to a serious underestimation of expected damage and coastal risk.

Resolution Data

The Caribbean is affected by climate change due to an increase in the variability, frequency, and intensity of extreme weather events. When coupled with sea level rise (SLR), poor urban development design, and loss of habitats, severe flooding often impacts the coastal zone. In order to protect citizens and adapt to a changing climate, national and local governments need to investigate their coastal vulnerability and climate change risks. To assess flood and inundation risk, some of the critical data are topography, bathymetry, and socio-economic. We review the datasets available for these parameters in Jamaica (and specifically Old Harbour Bay) and assess their pros and cons in terms of resolution and costs. We then examine how their use can affect the evaluation of the number of people and the value of infrastructure flooded in a typical sea level rise/flooding assessment. We find that there can be more than a three-fold difference in the estimate of people and property flooded under 3m SLR. We present an inventory of available environmental and economic datasets for modeling storm surge/SLR impacts and ecosystem-based coastal protection benefits at varying scales. We emphasize the importance of the careful selection of the appropriately scaled data for use in models that will inform climate adaptation planning, especially when considering sea level rise, in the coastal zone. Without a proper understanding of data needs and limitations, project developers and decision-makers overvalue investments in adaptation science which do not necessarily translate into effective adaptation implementation. Applying these datasets to estimate sea level rise and storm surge in an adaptation project in Jamaica, we found that less costly and lower resolution data and models provide up to three times lower coastal risk estimates than more expensive data and models, indicating that investments in better resolution digital elevation mapping (DEM) data are needed for targeted local-level decisions. However, we also identify that, with this general rule of thumb in mind, cost-effective, national data can be used by planners in the absence of high-resolution data to support adaptation action planning, possibly saving critical climate adaptation budgets for project implementation.
