The strategy and the portfolio of interventions can be adjusted in response to new information about SLR and other climate risks according to economic, environmental, social, institutional, technical or other objectives. In cases of rapid SLR, it may be necessary to implement a short-term protection strategy to buy time to implement more transformative and enduring strategies . There is high agreement that combining and sequencing adaptation interventions can reduce risk over time . Phasing interventions can help to spread costs and minimise regret , provided options are kept open to adjust to changing conditions .
