Climate change alters the climate condition and ocean environment, leading to accelerated coastal erosion and a shift in the coastline shape. From previous studies, Southeast Asia's coastal region is suffering from severe coastal erosion. It is most sensitive and vulnerable to climate change, has broad and densely populated coastlines, and is under ecological pressure. Efforts to systematically review these studies are still insufficient despite many studies on the climate change linked to coastal erosion, the correlation between coastal erosion and coastal communities, and the adaptative measures to address these issues and their effectiveness in Southeast Asia. Therefore, by analyzing the existing literature, the purpose of this review was to bridge the knowledge gap and identify the link between climate change and coastal erosion in Southeast Asia in terms of sea-level rise, storm surge, and monsoon patterns. The RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES) guided the study protocol, including articles from the Scopus and Dimension databases. There were five main themes considered: 1) climate change impact, 2) contributing factors to coastal erosion, 3) coastal erosion impact on coastal communities, 4) adaptation measure and 5) effectiveness of adaptation measure using thematical analysis. Subsequently, nine sub-themes were produced from the themes. Generally, in Southeast Asia, coastal erosion was reflected by the rising sea level. Throughout reviewing past literature, an interesting result was explored. Storm surges also had the potential to affect coastal erosion due to alterations of the atmospheric system and seasonal monsoon as the result of climate change. Meanwhile, an assessment of current erosion control strategies in relation to the relative hydrodynamic trend was required to avoid the failure of defence structures and the resulting danger to coastal communities. Systematically reviewing the existing literature was critical, hence it could significantly contribute to the body of knowledge. It provides valuable information for interested parties, such as authorities, the public, researchers, and environmentalists, while comprehending existing adaptation practices. This kind of review could strategize adaptation and natural resource management in line with coastal communities' needs, abilities, and capabilities in response to environmental and other change forms.
气候变化改变了气候条件和海洋环境，导致海岸侵蚀加速和海岸线形状的改变。从以往的研究来看，东南亚沿海地区正遭受严重的海岸侵蚀。该地区对气候变化最为敏感且脆弱，拥有广阔且人口密集的海岸线，并且承受着生态压力。尽管有许多关于与海岸侵蚀相关的气候变化、海岸侵蚀与沿海社区之间的关联以及应对这些问题的适应性措施及其在东南亚的有效性的研究，但对这些研究进行系统综述的工作仍显不足。因此，通过分析现有文献，本综述的目的是弥合知识差距，并从海平面上升、风暴潮和季风模式等方面确定东南亚气候变化与海岸侵蚀之间的联系。系统证据综合报告标准（ROSES）指导了研究方案，所涉文章来自Scopus和Dimension数据库。共考虑了五个主要主题：1）气候变化影响；2）海岸侵蚀的促成因素；3）海岸侵蚀对沿海社区的影响；4）适应措施；5）采用主题分析的适应措施有效性。随后，从这些主题中产生了九个次主题。总体而言，在东南亚，海岸侵蚀表现为海平面上升。在回顾过往文献的过程中，探索出了一个有趣的结果。由于气候变化导致大气系统和季节性季风的改变，风暴潮也有可能影响海岸侵蚀。与此同时，需要评估当前与相对水动力趋势相关的侵蚀控制策略，以避免防御结构失效以及由此给沿海社区带来危险。系统地回顾现有文献至关重要，因此它可为知识体系做出重大贡献。它为当局、公众、研究人员和环保主义者等相关方提供了有价值的信息，同时有助于理解现有的适应做法。这种综述能够根据沿海社区应对环境和其他变化形式的需求、能力和实力，制定适应策略和自然资源管理策略。
