Summary
A sudden rise in sea level by five meters would flood 23% of Tlacotalpan's territory, exposing 133 km² to significant socioeconomic vulnerability. This study quantifies the impacts on vulnerable groups using an interdisciplinary approach, combining territorial analysis with fieldwork to assess specific risks. The findings underscore the urgent need for disaster prevention policies tailored to these at-risk populations, particularly in coastal regions facing climate change pressures.
