摘要

Climate change significantly impacts agriculture and coastal areas, increasing vulnerability to natural disasters. The combination of increasing sea levels, severe weather, and changing climate patterns poses serious problems for human settlements and ecosystems. Coastal areas are more vulnerable to extreme weather events such storm surges, floods, tsunamis, saltwater intrusion, and coastal erosion. These risks lead to increasing salinity in aquifers and estuaries, habitat loss, infrastructure degradation, and water pollution. Agricultural output and food security are particularly susceptible in coastal locations due to factors including floods, temperature variations, loss of arable land, pest and disease transmission, and declining biodiversity. Strategies for adaptation and mitigation are crucial to addressing these issues. Through the integration of social, economic, and environmental considerations, integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) and the use of remote sensing can sustainably manage coastal resources. Artificial intelligence and machine learning further support this by developing predictive models for flooding and drought events based on historical data, satellite imagery, and climate patterns. Developing climate-resilient crops that can endure harsh weather, drought, and salt helps safeguard food production. Resilient farming systems and reinforced coastal defences are essential for reducing natural disasters. Water shortage and salinity problems may be addressed with the use of water management techniques including desalination, effective irrigation, and rainwater collection. Early warning systems lessen the impact on agricultural and human settlements by enabling prompt evacuations and preparation. Agricultural resilience and biodiversity are improved by ecosystem-based adaptation, which makes use of wetlands and mangroves as natural infrastructure. Ultimately, the development of new technologies requires investment in research and innovation, robust governance, and financial incentives for resilient behaviours. The lives of future generations and the ecosystems in coastal agricultural zones may be safeguarded from the continued consequences of climate change by implementing comprehensive and coordinated solutions.
