KnowraManaged retreatLinked fromLinked fromThe 26 pages that link to Managed retreat, each with the reason it gives.All 26Broader topic 1Related 9Compared with 16Sea level riseRelated: It can reduce long-term exposure where defending the shoreline is impractical.Coastal erosionCompared with: It accommodates shoreline retreat rather than attempting to hold the coast in place.Climate change adaptationRelated: Relocation can reduce long-term risk where coastal defenses are unsustainable.Flood controlCompared with: Retreat reduces exposure instead of trying to hold floodwater back.Coastal protectionCompared with: It reduces exposure by moving assets rather than holding the shoreline in place.Barrier islandCompared with: It offers an alternative to defending development on mobile, vulnerable islands.Coastal floodingRelated: Moving development away from flood-prone shores can reduce exposure where defenses are unsustainable.LeveeCompared with: Where levees cannot provide acceptable long-term safety, relocation may replace continued structural defense.EvacuationCompared with: Unlike emergency evacuation, managed retreat is a long-term response to recurring or permanent risk.Mekong DeltaCompared with: It offers one response where protecting or maintaining low-lying delta settlements becomes difficult.Urban floodingCompared with: In repeatedly flooded areas, relocation can replace the cycle of rebuilding and defending.Coastal managementRelated: It reduces long-term exposure by allowing the shoreline and coastal habitats to move inland.Beach nourishmentCompared with: Retreat reduces exposure by relocating assets rather than repeatedly replacing eroded beach sediment.Hurricane SandyCompared with: Sandy sharpened debates over rebuilding in places repeatedly exposed to coastal flooding.Climate resilienceBroader topic: Retreat can protect lives where defending current settlement patterns is not sustainable.Coastal geomorphologyRelated: It accommodates natural landform migration where holding the shoreline is unsustainable.Coastal engineeringCompared with: It reduces exposure by relocating assets rather than holding the shoreline in place.Hurricane evacuationCompared with: Unlike a temporary evacuation, retreat addresses whether residents should return to repeatedly threatened places.SeawallCompared with: Managed retreat reduces exposure by moving assets instead of holding the shoreline in place.Coastal urbanizationRelated: It is an adaptation option where continued urban protection or rebuilding is unsustainable.Coastal geographyRelated: It represents an adaptation strategy that makes room for shoreline change rather than resisting it.Effects of climate change on small island countriesCompared with: It offers an alternative to defending every vulnerable shoreline with engineered barriers.Flat coastRelated: It can make space for low-lying shorelines to adjust to rising water levels.Flood control in the NetherlandsCompared with: It offers an alternative to defending every exposed area with higher barriers.Flood managementRelated: Relocation can reduce exposure where maintaining defenses is unsafe or unsustainable.Tropical cyclone preparednessCompared with: Long-term relocation can reduce exposure where repeated preparedness and rebuilding cannot make places safe.
