Abstract: Coastal infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to climate change, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events. These challenges threaten the sustainability and functionality of vital infrastructure such as ports, transportation networks, and energy systems. This article examines the key risks to coastal infrastructure and explores innovative strategies for enhancing resilience. These include nature-based solutions, adaptive engineering practices, and community-based planning. The paper also highlights the role of policy frameworks, climate modeling, and monitoring systems in building adaptive capacity. Future directions for sustainable coastal infrastructure development emphasize collaboration among engineers, policymakers, and local communities to mitigate risks and foster resilience.
