This analysis evaluates beach vulnerability and adaptive capacity in Rio de Janeiro, suggesting enhancements for coastal management.

Over 27% of beaches in Rio de Janeiro face very high exposure to storm waves, indicating significant vulnerability.
Results show that 69.45% of these beaches have an adequate adaptive capacity, crucial for effective coastal management.
The study employs a multicriteria approach to develop a beach vulnerability index, assessing exposure and adaptive capacity.
Nature-based solutions like dune restoration are recommended to improve beach resistance against storm impacts.

Piacesi et al. (2025) studied this question.
