Displacement and Migration: Rising sea levels and extreme weather events are forcing people to migrate from affected areas. This contributes to global refugee crises, placing strain on neighboring countries and regions.

Global Effect

Temperature Changes: Average temperatures in Tampa are rising, contributing to more extreme heat events, which strain energy and water resources. This warming also affects local ecosystems, particularly in terms of plant and animal habitats.

Venice: Neighboring cities face similar risks as the one directly affected, particularly in terms of economic impacts, migration pressures, and strained public services. Cities like Venice also experience rising costs of insurance and repairs due to flood damage.

Attention!

Environmental Impacts: Tampa, like many coastal cities, is experiencing the effects of climate change in several ways. Over the past century, sea levels along Florida's coast have risen by about 8–10 inches. Tampa is located in a region prone to hurricanes, and climate change has been linked to stronger and more intense storms due to the heated waters.

What is being done...

The city is working on carbon reduction strategies, including transitioning to renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency in buildings. Tampa has been investing in infrastructure improvements to address flooding risks, including raising roads, building seawalls, and creating flood barriers. The city is also engaging in public education campaigns, working with local organizations and residents to increase awareness of climate change impacts and adaptation measures. Policies related to building codes and zoning are being updated to ensure that new development can withstand future climate conditions.

Venice, Italy: Venice is dealing with increased flooding due to rising sea levels and subsidence (sinking of the city). The MOSE project, a system of barriers and floodgates, aims to protect the city from high tides and storm surges. However, climate change is accelerating the need for these measures.
