This paper analyzes the diverse and deep-seated effects of climate change on coastal infrastructure. Combining the latest scientific literature with a vulnerability assessment framework, this research studies the impact of sea-level rise, heightened storm activity, and changes in precipitation on essential infrastructure like ports, highways, and coastal defenses. It is evident that climate change poses fundamental challenges to coastal infrastructure systems in terms of their functionality and longevity, which is why advanced adaptation measures are crucial. This research also stresses the need to evaluate climate change impacts when planning, designing, and maintaining coastal infrastructure to protect these communities and enhance their resilience.
