Abstract: Climate change poses significant challenges to coastal areas worldwide, impacting geotechnical stability and resilience. This paper investigates the geotechnical ramifications of climate change in coastal regions, focusing on sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and intensified extreme weather events. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, it evaluates the effects of climate change on coastal infrastructure, including buildings, roads, and ports. Furthermore, it explores adaptation and mitigation strategies essential for enhancing coastal resilience. The findings underscore the critical need for proactive measures to address geotechnical challenges in coastal areas amid climate change.
