Resumen

Cities located close to the shoreline, due to their population density, physical characteristics, and inadequate planning, have long been exposed to inundation. However, climate change and variability have altered flood dynamics, increasing their intensity and frequency. Tourism-dependent urban areas are particularly affected, highlighting the need to strengthen the adaptive capacities of climate adaptation strategies. This research analyses from a management perspective the level of coordination among various stakeholders involved in flood response in Cozumel (Mexico), in relation to climate sustainability. The methodology adopts public institutional leadership as a framework, for analysing coordination among actors in planning and management of urban coastal floods; considering the scope of the legal and planning framework, the identification of actors, social perceptions of floods, a mapping of collaboration among key actors, and resilience-based structural elements.
