RESUMO

Global warming and the consequent increase of the mean sea level rise will be a challenge to the maintenance and development of offshore structures in the coming decades. Both global climate change and the fact that the extreme storms are experiencing substantial changes have profound consequences for the society and the environment. The study aimed to present and discuss these issues and analyze the climatic paradigms for offshore projects such as coastal defenses and the stabilization works to maintain or rebuild the natural systems (cliffs, dunes, wetland, beaches), or to protect buildings and coastal infrastructure (urban areas, access for connections, roads). To this end, it was analyzed the case study on the occurrence of coastal erosion on the beach of Massaguaçu, Caraguatatuba city in São Paulo State, the projects and works undertaken for the site were evaluated, considering the recommendations of the existing policies at the international level. Thus, the study was concluded, with the possible solutions to the problem of erosion occurred in a coastal region, given the increase on the mean sea level rise.
