Europe faces potential annual losses of up to 800 billion euros by century's end due to coastal erosion, according to a Council of Europe report. The document urges proactive measures, including relocating homes and businesses to safer areas. Currently, coastal erosion costs over a billion euros annually across 28 European countries, with more than a quarter of the continent's coastline affected. The report advocates for a planned retreat strategy, restricting new constructions in high-risk zones and updating risk maps. Coastal regions contribute significantly to Europe's GDP but are increasingly vulnerable to rising sea levels and severe storms.
