Thanks, that makes sense as a goal, to evaluate and minimize impact on current coastal populations. I assume future coastal population centers would actively shift inland, over multiple decades, if they take into account predicted sea level changes over the next 200 to 2,000 years.

In a capitalist society, I wouldn't expect that. What would be the market incentive to migrate? As it stands currently, coastal property is the most valuable. There would need to be a mechanism to drive that migration. Perhaps a system that adds the cost of maintaining the current sea level to owning beachfront property?
