Protecting coasts, protecting lives: Surat’s climate resilience breakthrough
In Surat, rising seas and stronger storms are putting a fast-growing coastal city at increasing risk. The Dumas Sea Wall Project is helping to protect vulnerable coastlines through a combination of climate-resilient infrastructure and nature-based solutions. By reinforcing embankments, preserving mangroves, and integrating green public spaces, the project is reducing flood risks while supporting tourism and local livelihoods. Designed with sustainable materials and minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem, it shows how cities can adapt to climate change while working with the environment.
