: '''The 'Mose' Project (Venice)''' → A **$6 Billion** "Wall of Gates" that "Rises from the Sea" to "Block High Tides," an example of "Expensive Adaptation."
: '''Kiribati and the Maldives''' → "Low-Lying Island Nations" that are "Buying Land in other countries" (like Fiji) because they "Expect to Vanish" by 2100.
: '''The 'Dutch' Model''' → "The Netherlands" has "Lived below sea level" for 800 years. They use "Dikes," "Pumps," and "Room for the River" to "Manage the Water" rather than "Fighting it."
: '''Managed Retreat''' → When a "Government" pays a "Whole Community" to "Move Inland" (e.g., 'Isle de Jean Charles' in Louisiana).
