| Economic development and coastal ecosystem change in China A multifaceted dataset was compiled to quantify coastal trends and examine the role of economic growth in China's coastal degradation since the 1950s. All 15 coastal human impacts examined increased over time, especially after the 1978 reforms. Economic growth has been proved the cause of accelerating human damage to China's coastal ecosystems. Without strict conservation efforts, continuing economic growth will further degrade China's coastal ecosystems.

| Towards a Comprehensive Framework for Adaptive Delta Management This report provides an overview of new approaches emerging in several deltas that can be labelled under the heading of Adaptive Delta Management (ADM). Adaptive management can be defined as a structured, iterative process of robust decision making in the face of uncertainty, with an aim to reduce uncertainty over time via system monitoring. ADM encourages an integrated and flexible approach to land and water management with the aim to reduce vulnerability and limit the risk of over- or underinvestment in future challenges such as flood risk management and freshwater supplies. The report shows that ADM is developing rapidly into a fascinating new type of decision making under an uncertain future. The reasons for using the new approach are convincing, the theoretical foundation is growing and the results on the ground are promising. ADM can be captured as a cyclic process of which the overall design does not differ much from traditional planning steps. However, the approach and methods within each step contain new elements, such as long term scenario building, adaptation pathway developments, signposts and triggers.
