Cost of Adaptation to Rising Coastal Water Levels for the Peoples Republic of China,Japan, and the Republic of Korea

This publication explores the potential costs for coastal adaptation from 2010 until 2050 inEast Asia due to climate-induced sea-level rise and possibly more intense tropical cyclones. Theresults are estimates of possible adaptation needs, which illustrate the possible magnitude ofadapting to the future impacts of climate change on three important coastal countries: thePeoples Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea. This study is part of the technicalassistance Economics of Climate Change and Low Carbon Growth Strategies in Northeast Asia,financed by ADB and the Korea International Cooperation Agency.
