Climate change affects sea level, the extent of flood prone areas and precipitation patterns among many others. To adapt to these changes, the tasks of municipalities and cities are to implement policies and strategies for changes in land use and coastal management as part of their future development. It is of vital importance to address the uncertainties of climate change scenarios when proposing adaptation measures that are socially viable and economically reasonable. The decision making process, promoted here, is based on scientific excellence as well on an integrated communication process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive overview of key elements required for effective analysis and assessment of climate change impacts, economic cost-benefit analysis, communication processes and creation and transfer of knowledge, governance issues and implementation of related polici\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A wide array of researchers, urban planners, students in environmental sciences, and policy makers should take significant advantage of the facts driven approach of this book.”  (\u003ci\u003eEnviron Dev Sustain\u003c\/i\u003e, 1 October 2014)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“The authors of this volume show us the tremendous possibilities of constructing a socioenvironmental approach to climate change adaptation in the Baltic.
