Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.), belonging to the family Arecaceae, has earned the epithet ‘Kalpavriksha’ (“Tree of Life”) because of its multitude of uses. Changing and future climate scenarios have imposed severe constraints on the production of coconut with simulation studies revealing that productivity will be severely affected. Nevertheless, plant genomics has offered many novel approaches to meet the exigencies of climate change by identifying novel genetic sources for future climatic conditions and developing suitable cultivars to tolerate increased drought, high temperature, pests, and diseases’ complex. The perennial and open-pollinated nature of the crop and its long gestation period has hampered the application of genomics in coconut improvement. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have helped in the generation of enormous genomic and transcriptomic sequence information at a relatively low cost. Also, breeders’ toolbox has been improved with the availability of various techniques such as molecular marker kits, association mapping, and genomic selection. This chapter describes the impact of climate change in coconut, progresses made in the field of coconut genomics, and various approaches being followed to develop climate-smart coconut.
