Flooding, erosion, and saltwater intrusion lead via different pathways to cause various consequences in coastal regions across Europe. Flooding, via overflow, overtopping, and breaching, damages assets, the environment, and people. Coastal erosion leads also to damage, and saltwater intrusion affects ecosystems and surface waters and salinizes coastal aquifers, diminishing freshwater availability and causing salt damage to crops and health issues in people. This paper provides an overview of the various impacts and consequences of sea level rise in Europe.}, organization = {This research has been supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MCIN/AEI and NextGenerationEU/ PRTR) through the Ramón y Cajal program (grant no.
