Exploring coastal climate adaptation through storylines: Insights from cyclone Idai in Beira, Mozambique Goulart et al. explore the effectiveness of storylines in evaluating adaptation strategies for extreme climate events. They highlight how these narrative-based approaches can complement traditional climate risk assessments by showcasing the consequences of each adaptation strategy selected, quantifying residual impacts and testing robustness across different scenarios. This research offers insights for policymakers and communities, emphasizing the importance of integrating narrative approaches in climate adaptation planning to make informed decisions that better protect communities. https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-sustainability/fulltext/S2949-7906(24)00431-2
