Not only is mitigation necessary to support ocean and coastal adaptation , but the global emission pathways also impose limits to ocean and coastal adaptation, with lower warming levels enabling greater effectiveness of adaptations  . Chapter 17 broadly assesses the limits to adaptation, while this section focuses on barriers and limits to adaptation imposed by cultural , economic  and governance  dimensions . Globally, these factors more strongly influence ocean development than does local natural resource availability , and are key to avoiding maladaptation. This section also assesses enablers and limits to mitigation .
