Study: Important World Heritage Sites At Risk In Climate Change

ISSUES Posted: December 27, 2018 10:28 am

The vast majority—47 of the World Heritage Sites studied—were found to be potentially threatened by coastal erosion or storm surges by the end of the century. Specifically, 37 of the sites were found to be at risk from a 100-year flood or storm surge, and 42 to be at risk from coastal erosion.
