Abstract

Sea level rise is a direct consequence of climate change, exerting profound effects on social structures, economies, infrastructure, and coastal ecosystems. This article aims to review recent scientific literature addressing the impacts of sea level rise in coastal areas and adaptation strategies implemented across countries, with a particular focus on Indonesia. The research method employed is a literature review with a descriptive qualitative approach, examining scientific publications from 2020 to 2026. Findings reveal that sea level rise in Indonesia averages 4.6 ± 0.4 mm per year, exceeding the global average. Observed impacts include coastal erosion, tidal flooding, saltwater intrusion, infrastructure damage, and population displacement. Effective adaptation strategies involve a combination of hard infrastructure (seawalls, breakwaters), ecosystem-based approaches (mangrove restoration, wetland conservation), and climate-responsive policy support. These findings underscore the importance of multidisciplinary approaches, community participation, and cross-sectoral collaboration in building coastal resilience to climate change.
