When the Shoreline Moves Inland: Sea-Level Rise and Unequal Climate Burden

When the Shoreline Moves Inland: Sea-Level Rise and Unequal Climate Burden

As the sea slowly moves inland, entire coastal worlds are being redrawn, and coastal communities that depend on fishing and farming are facing an uncertain future. This blog looks at how climate change, through sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and saltwater intrusion, is slowly transforming both land and life along the shores. It focuses on the human side of this crisis, i.e., displacement, migration, and the growing pressure on cities. It also calls for shared responsibility, adaptability, and empathy for a planet that is undergoing rapid change.
