Research shows that the residents living along coastal areas are facing impacts triggered by climate change such as flooding, storms, drought, inundation of cultivated land, and an increase in average annual temperatures and rain levels.
The workshop also dealt with the relation between climate change and air pollution as well as setting forth measures to minimise adverse impacts of the two problems.
Delegates to the workshop also devoted attention to efforts to reduce green house gases and the zoning of construction and development in urban centres along the coast.
