Relying solely on seawalls and other engineering fixes won\u2019t be enough to keep communities safe from rising sea levels or other consequences of climate change, a major new United Nations report<\/a> warns. Seawalls might be able to temporarily fend off rising tides and storm surges, but the report\u2019s authors say more \u201ctransformative changes in our behaviour and infrastructure\u201d are needed as the climate crisis worsens.<\/p>\n

Greener cities and healthy ecosystems are just as important as built infrastructure for keeping people safe, the report emphasized. And urban planners might need to give up developing some of the most vulnerable coastal areas, or risk building in places that\u2019ll be inundated with water in the future. <\/p>\n
