African heritage sites threatened as sea-level rise accelerates

M. I. Vousdoukas, J. Clarke, et al.

This study reveals alarming projections for African heritage sites facing coastal flooding and erosion due to climate change. With 20% currently at risk from significant coastal events, this number could more than triple by 2050 under high emissions scenarios. Urgent adaptation strategies are vital to protect these invaluable sites. Conducted by a team of experts including Michalis I. Vousdoukas and Joanne Clarke, this research emphasizes the need for immediate action.... show more
