Solutions to Global Challenges
Empowering Coastal Resilience Planning Through Modelling
Benefit from prevention planning rather than crisis management
The issue
Many of us have chosen to live in low-elevation coastal zones putting ourselves at risk for the effects of flooding and coastal erosion. Despite the well-known challenges related to climate change, we continue to do so in rapidly growing coastal cities. This is a shared concern for coastal communities around the world – however, it is not too late to take action.
Why it matters
While coastal hazards are luring in the horizon, the devastating impact of these disasters can be prevented. Soft and hard coastal protection acts as a line of defense. As such, continuous and innovative upgrades are necessary to respond to rising challenges. Coastal resilience adaptation planning helps communities adapt and improve long-term sustainability against loss of lives and properties.
How we can help
Through advanced software technology, DHI strives to share our understanding of complex physics to serve coastal communities trying to adapt worldwide. Digital twins of coastal environmental settings can support you in mitigating coastline instability and flooding. Partner with DHI and de-risk the challenges of living in coastal areas.

An insider’s perspective on tackling coastal erosion
Between climate changes, expanding coastal cities and the growing recreational use of beaches and nearshore areas for surfing and other watersport activities, rising sea level is making coastal erosion a major challenge. We’ve asked an insider to share his perspective on trending integrated solutions which address both the risk to infrastructure and beach amenity.
