Listen to a Podcast About Climate Adaptation

Prepare for a changing planet — sea walls, drought-resistant crops, managed retreat, climate-resilient infrastructure, and the strategies communities are using to survive global warming.

The Netherlands' Delta Works, a series of 13 dams, sluices, and storm surge barriers completed between 1954 and 1997 at a cost of roughly $5 billion, is considered one of the most ambitious engineering projects in history and protects a nation where 26% of the land lies below sea level. The UN estimates that climate adaptation will cost developing countries $140-300 billion per year by 2030, yet current adaptation finance flows are less than one-tenth of that amount. Managed retreat — the planned relocation of communities away from high-risk areas — has been implemented in places like Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana, where the federal government allocated $48 million in 2016 to relocate a community that had lost 98% of its land to rising seas and erosion since 1955.
