The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently released its sixth report on global warming. The panel first sounded the alarm on global warming with its initial report in 1990, 20 years after the first Earth Day.
Scientists say that without immediate and decisive action to stave off carbon emissions, billions of people will face the consequences of climate change firsthand. But there is some hope. The IPCC's report gives us a roadmap to get there.
The Conversation followed up on possible solutions to one climate consequence: coastal erosion as a result of sea-level rise.
In this segment about how to adapt to coastal erosion:
- Denise Antolini, North Shore resident and law professor at William S. Richardson School of Law
- Dolan Eversole, coastal geologist at the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
- Doug Cole, an officer of the North Shore Community Land Trust
