A global analysis of coastal erosion of beaches due to sea-level rise: an application of DIVA
This paper is a first attempt to assess the global effects of climate-induced sea-level rise and coastal erosion of beaches, including nourishment. It considers direct erosion on open sandy coasts and indirect erosion effects near selected tidal inlets and estuaries. For the scenarios considered and no nourishment, global land loss could be up to 190 km2/yr by 2100. In terms of impacts, forced migration is the largest cost at up to US (1995) $17 billion/yr in 2100. Nourishment based on cost-benefit analysis would cost up to US (1995) $3.2 billion/yr, and avoid up to 65% of the forced migration. In absolute terms, large countries have the largest costs (e.g., USA), but in relative terms, small islands appear most impacted, with or without nourishment

Abstract
This paper is a first attempt to assess the global effects of climate-induced sea-level rise and coastal erosion of beaches, including nourishment. It considers direct erosion on open sandy coasts and indirect erosion effects near selected tidal inlets and estuaries. For the scenarios considered and no nourishment, global land loss could be up to 190 km2/yr by 2100. In terms of impacts, forced migration is the largest cost at up to US (1995) $17 billion/yr in 2100. Nourishment based on cost-benefit analysis would cost up to US (1995) $3.2 billion/yr, and avoid up to 65% of the forced migration. In absolute terms, large countries have the largest costs (e.g., USA), but in relative terms, small islands appear most impacted, with or without nourishment
