Coastal communities across the globe are faced with multifaceted, interconnected challenges with competing environmental, social and economic needs. In rural coastal communities of the Global South, the challenges presented by climate change are complicated by those related to development, resource management and sustainable livelihoods. The rapid growth of such coastal communities exacerbates these challenges and reinforces the need for effective and sustainable governance. Such governance requires a move from top-down approaches to human-centred approaches. Human-centred coastal governance engages multiple stakeholders and combines multidisciplinary knowledge, participatory approaches, co-creation of solutions and multi-institutional partnerships. Here we present case studies from coastal communities in Vanuatu, Ghana and Bangladesh. These illustrate several of the complex challenges facing such communities and the collaborative and empowering strategies that have been used to meet them. Based on these case studies, we present a transdisciplinary framework to inform the co-creation of coastal management strategies that meet interconnected human and environmental needs.
全球沿海社区面临着多方面、相互关联的挑战，这些挑战涉及环境、社会和经济等多方面的需求。在全球南方的农村沿海社区，气候变化带来的挑战与发展、资源管理和可持续生计等方面的挑战交织在一起。这些沿海社区的快速发展加剧了这些挑战，因此需要更有效的可持续治理。这种治理需要从自上而下的方法转变为以人为本的方法。以人为本的沿海治理需要吸引多方利益相关者，并结合多学科知识、参与式方法、共同创造解决方案和多机构伙伴关系。在这里，我们展示了来自瓦努阿图、加纳和孟加拉国沿海社区的案例研究。这些案例研究说明了这些社区面临的一些复杂挑战，以及为应对这些挑战而采用的协作和赋权策略。基于这些案例研究，我们提出了一个跨学科框架，为共同创造满足人类和环境相互关联需求的沿海管理策略提供信息。
