“The coalition offers significant potential for reciprocal learning across various cities to manage and respond to these pressures and provides an opportunity to collaborate with other cities facing similar pressures,” says Eddie Andrews, the city’s mayoral committee for spatial planning and environment.
“All of us who reside in these unique environments are faced with real challenges from erosion and submersion, to extreme climate events that can inflict widespread damage, the degradation of our local ecosystems and significant economic and social repercussions as a result," he added.

“As much as coastal cities are facing the same risks, the truth is that each city will have to develop its own solutions best suitable to its unique socio-economic and environmental context. We will have to find a balance between solutions that are prescribed at a global level with an implementation regime that is responsive to our limitations and context,” Andrews concluded.
