Coastal Concerns

As noted by Jeff Goodell in his 2017 book The Water Will Come, 72,000 buildings worth more than $129 billion stand in New York City’s flood zones. So it’s clear why the city has emphasized planning for sea level rise and storm surge, especially considering the probability of more Sandy-like storms in the future as climate change accelerates.

While the rising seas pose obvious issues to cities like New York and Miami, we’ve also seen recently how rising sea levels have already affected the value of properties all along the East Coast. It’s important to transition to renewable energy and cut emissions — reducing our total carbon emissions will slow the rate of sea level rise in the future — but a great deal of sea level rise is already inevitable. And some areas will be more prepared than others.

 While the arise seas pose obvious issues to city like New York and Miami, we ’ve also seen recently how rising ocean levels have already affected the value of property all along the East Coast. It ’s significant to transition to renewable energy and cut emissions — reducing our entire carbon emissions will slow the rate of sea level rise in the future — but a great deal of sea level rise is already inevitable.
