Climate Change and Rising Sea Levels Threaten Coastal Communities

Uncategorized By Mar 19, 2023

Sea levels are rising as a result of global warming caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from fossil fuels. Effects include flooding, erosion and loss of property, impacting coastal communities disproportionally. Furthermore, infrastructure and freshwater resources are at risk, and coastal ecosystems (e.g. mangroves, coral reefs) could disappear altogether. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to sustainable energy sources,…
