Florida shows how to adapt as coastal cities face growing threats from sea level rise and storms

Climate change is causing sea level rise and increasing extreme coastal flooding across the U.S., challenging communities where many people live in coastal areas. In response, Florida is developing adaptive strategies by merging infrastructure with urban design to withstand worsening storms. Innovations include creating affordable, custom-designed 3D-printed living seawalls that protect shorelines while serving as artificial marine habitats.
