Lakes, wetlands and coastal regions provide essential services
critical to the survival of human, wildlife and, by and large, the
ecosystems, which are constantly threatened by anthropogenic
activities, environmental degradation and climate change. Marine
resources, particularly mangroves and corals, are vulnerable to
coastal developments, including coastal reclamation, and human
settlements that discharge large quantities of wastes into the
seas. Climate change impacts, such as increased salt intrusion and
sea level rise, may additionally induce regime shifts detrimental
to these delicate ecosystems. And the warmer climate has increased
the frequency, duration and intensity of catastrophic coastal
disturbances, implicating profound uncertainty to the
sustainability of coastal infrastructures and resources essential
for human populations.This book is written for students,
researchers and practitioners pursuing teaching and research
related to sustainable development, and the United Nations'
Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). It provides a unique
approach on sustainable development, viewed from the perspectives
of providing solutions via model simulation, to solve sustainable
development issues related to human population growth, and impacts
due to climate change. It provides the scientific knowledge and
technical skills necessary to achieve valuable insights for
mitigating the predicted adverse impacts and for developing
sustainable development strategies, incorporating climate and
environmental adaptations.
