Flooding is another priority area, the report says. It finds that large-scale engineering solutions like sea walls offer the most effective protection to coastal flooding - but they are expensive, and when they fail the results can be disastrous.The ideal solution, the authors think, may be a combination of "hard" engineering solutions like dykes matched with "soft" solutions like protecting wetlands to hold water and allow it to seep into the ground.
