Deltas form at the mouths of rivers, where they deposit sediment and merge with another body of water such as the sea. They are biodiversity hotspots, host diverse ecosystems and act as natural buffers for extreme weather events.

Deltas also filter water that flows downstream, reducing the impact of river pollution. They are particularly vulnerable to climate change and require urgent adaptation measures. Coastal restoration (salt marshes, brackish water) and the restoration of wetlands are increasingly considered a measure for climate ;

The 2022 IPCC report in particular highlighted that the world and Europe have a rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future. The rise in weather and climate extremes has led to some irreversible impacts, as natural and human systems are pushed beyond their ability to adapt. It calls for the implementation of urgent actions for coastal restoration.
