The author’s 9-year-old son will likely face about four times as many extreme events in his lifetime as older adults today. An international report explains the impacts already being felt.
As the impacts and costs of climate change increase over time, New Zealand’s financial systems could become less stable and the government less able to support those affected.
As the climate changes, the ocean is also changing. And that’s putting our health at risk.
Done right, managed retreat redesigns communities to be better for everyone. Here’s how it’s evolving for the future.
NOAA’s 2021 high-tide flooding outlook shows where the risks are highest and growing. Some communities are seeing 20 or more days of flooding a year now.
Survey respondents who overestimated the amount and speed of sea-level rise were more likely to express greater concern. But concern is not always helpful in prompting action.
Many coastal US cities are contending with increasingly frequent and severe tidal flooding as sea levels rise. Some are considering building seawalls, but this strategy is not simple or cheap.
Sea level is still rising, and when that lunar cycle starts upward again, it will mean double trouble for places like Miami.
Rising sea levels are as likely to trap people as they are to force them to move.
In Australia, coastal flooding is expected to be worse along the northern coast in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Can maps of people’s flooded properties convince them that rising sea level is a threat?
For every ten centimetres of sea level rise, the chances of a 100-year coastal flood increase three-fold. This means we’ll have to build flood defenses or retreat from the coast.
Hundreds of millions more people will now be at risk from rising seas in the coming decades - with Asia and island nations most vulnerable. How we react to the climate crisis is now even more crucial.
As climate change speeds up tropical storm cycles, rivers and bays have less time to process nutrients and pollutants that wash into them after each event.
‘Building back better’ refers to making communities more disaster-proof and resilient after they take a hit. But instead, some US owners are building back bigger homes in vulnerable places.
Planning for the growing risks of flooding that threatens the UK’s cities, towns and villages is underway, but progress is too slow.
A new report shows that coral reefs reduce damage from floods across the United States and its trust territories by more than $1.8 billion every year – and pinpoints that value state by state.
One surprising potential benefit of sea-level rise is it helps coastal wetlands store more carbon.
Rising sea levels won’t be solved by trying to fix the coast in place. For a defence from coastal flooding, we need to step back.
