Destruction of coastal ecosystems endangers millions of people from tropical cyclones. Climate change will increase this risk by 40%, affecting 27 million more annually. It is crucial to prioritize conservation and restoration of these ecosystems to protect communities. Investment and action by governments, organizations, communities, and the private sector are necessary to prevent further loss and mitigate climate change impacts.

Coastal Ecosystem Conservation: Protecting Communities at Risk


A new study shows that 68 million people in low-lying coastal areas are at risk from tropical cyclones every year, and ecosystems like mangroves, coral reefs, and wetlands serve as their best defenses. However, the destruction of these coastal ecosystems has led to 1.4 million people annually losing their natural protection. With climate change, this number could increase by 40%, impacting an additional 27 million people annually. Coastal communities are losing nature s protection and it is crucial to prioritize the conservation of these ecosystems to ensure their resilience and growth. The challenge faced by coastal communities is twofold: ecosystems struggling to adapt to climate change and habitat degradation caused by human development. Investing in the health of natural ecosystems can protect people from climate change impacts and lessen its severity. Governments, organizations, communities, and the private sector must act now to prevent the loss of ecosystems and protect millions of people at risk. Conserving existing ecosystems and rebuilding and restoring previously destroyed ones are vital steps for the future. In certain geographies, such as island states like Bermuda, mangrove restoration can significantly increase the percentage of people protected from tropical cyclones.

Coastal communities face heightened cyclone risk due to declining protective natural ecosystems. Cyclone Idai in 2019 caused significant damage and loss of life. Future storms may be stronger, but the relationship between communities and ecosystems is not fully understood. ETH Zurich researchers found 67 million people are currently at risk, with China having the most. By 2050, the number at risk may increase by 40% to nearly 94 million. Coastal habitats like mangroves and reefs provide protection but are being destroyed, leaving more vulnerable. Preserving existing habitats and restoring lost ones are vital for better cyclone protection.
