Global sea level rise projections indicate devastating implications for populations, ecosystem services and biodiversity. The implications of the sea-level rise (SLR) on low-lying islands and coastal regions and communities are substantial and require deep-rooted coping measures. In the absence of adequate responses for coping, Mozambique is expected to record huge losses, with an impact on the economy and development in many sectors of its coastal regions mainly in northern Mozambique. This research aimed to perform projections on SLR in Mozambique, and to understand its role and implications on the north coast of the country. SLR was estimated through the analysis of model outputs that support the global estimates of the fifth IPCC report near the Mozambican coast, for each of the four representative concentration pathways (RCPs) scenarios. Regional coastline retreat and coastal erosion were estimated through the results of global sandy coastlines projections developed by Vousdoukas. Mean sea-level rise projections indicate that regional estimates for the Mozambican coast are relative higher than global estimates (~0.05 m) for all representative concentration pathways (RCPs). Yet, we highlight significant differences in sea-level rises of 0.5 m, 0.7 m or 1.0 m by 2100 compared to the global mean. It is expected that with the increase in the mean sea level in the northern part of the Mozambican coast, erosive effects will increase, as well as the retreat of the coastline until 2100. With this, the tourism sector, settlements, ecosystem services and local populations are expected to be significantly affected by 2050, with increased threats in 2100 (RCP4.5, RCP8.5). Local responses for coping are proposed and properly discussed for the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios through 2100.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse9020205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]],"date-time":"2021-02-16T22:13:38Z","timestamp":1613513618000},"page":"205","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Approaching Sea-Level Rise (SLR) Change: Strengthening Local Responses to Sea-Level Rise and Coping with Climate Change in Northern Mozambique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7637-0671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serafino Afonso Rui","family":"Mucova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Natural Sciences, L\u00fario University, 958 Pemba, Mozambique"},{"name":"Department of Biology &amp; CESAM (Center for Environmental and Marine Studies), University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ulisses Miranda","family":"Azeiteiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology &amp; CESAM (Center for Environmental and Marine Studies), University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1241-5225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter Leal","family":"Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Transfer Centre \u201cSustainability and Climate Change Management\u201d, Faculty of Life Sciences, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, D-21033 Hamburg, Germany"},{"name":"School of Science and the Environment, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester M15 6BH, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0872-1289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carina Lurdes","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Environmental and Marine Studies, Department of Physics &amp; CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"},{"name":"Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, Faculty of Sciences &amp; MARE, University of Lisbon, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7613-6241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Miguel","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Environmental and Marine Studies, Department of Physics &amp; CESAM, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rio Jorge","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology &amp; CESAM (Center for Environmental and Marine Studies), University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"P\u00f6rtner, H.-O., Roberts, D.C., Masson-Delmotte, V., Zhai, P., Tignor, M., Poloczanska, E., Mintenbeck, K., Alegr\u00eda, A., Nicolai, M., and Okem, A.
