C3 Solutions highlights the impacts that rising sea levels have and how to best adapt to them.
- Sea levels are rising at a faster rate than the historical average due, in large part, to human-induced climate change. Cost-effective global mitigation can slow the rate of sea level rise and investments in adaptive infrastructure will help protect communities.
- Sea level rises can impact communities and economies if proper adaptation measures are not taken.
- We can adapt to and mitigate rising sea levels by investing in natural infrastructure, reforming harmful government policies, and trusting in the private sector to produce the innovations that are needed to reduce emissions.
“While long-term global mitigation will help slow the rate of sea level rise, we can also adapt to rising sea levels through investments in coastal resiliency, natural infrastructure, and other adaptation efforts.”
