Background	In recent years, the world has been experiencing frequent and unexpected natural disasters such as heavy rainfall, storm surges, storm waves due to climate change, and tsunamis associated with earthquakes. The 2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere (SROCC) and the 2021 Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), in particular Sea-level rise projections under the high-end greenhouse gas emissions scenario (SSP585) have been revised upward to the upper side to 1.1 m at the end of the century, and future changes in waves and storm surges are reported to have serious impacts on coastal vulnerability. Under these circumstances, it is feared that high waves and storm surges and tsunamis will become a serious challenge in Southeast Asian and South Pacific countries. Indonesia is a coastal and maritime country consisting of 13,466 islands and has the world’s second longest coastline of approximately 54,000 km. However, protection against natural disasters is insufficient, and in addition to long-term and widespread coastal erosion, recent climate change has increased the vulnerability of coastal areas due to frequent flooding and predicted sea level rise. In this context, there is a strong need to preserve coastal areas in a way that balances disaster prevention, the environment, and the economy.
Aims/ objectives	To share analysis of coastal vulnerability based on case studies, mainly focusing on Bali and Ambon. To examine how science, including the new technology, contributes to mitigate coastal vulnerability.
Expected output:	Showcasing specific examples that connect the tsunami studies with the human and social science products.
Target audience (number and from which organization):	This session will invite those who are interested in collaboration between natural and social science to enhance costal resilience, with total targeted 50 participants.
Method:	Hybrid Meeting (Online and Offline)
