🌍 Understanding the Impact
Coastal cities face unprecedented challenges due to climate change, including rising sea levels, increased storm intensity, and coastal erosion. These changes threaten infrastructure, ecosystems, and communities worldwide.
Key Effects of Climate Change on Coastal Areas
- 🌊 Rising Sea Levels: Melting ice caps and thermal expansion of oceans are causing coastal flooding.
- 🌪️ Extreme Weather Events: Higher temperatures intensify hurricanes and typhoons, leading to catastrophic damage.
- 🏗️ Infrastructure Strain: Ports, roads, and buildings in low-lying areas are at risk of permanent submersion.
