Climate Impact
Solutions
Solutions:
One of the main solutions being recommended to help remedy the situation in Venice is "MOSE" or Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, which would provide the city with barriers that have the ability to retract so during high tides they may be raised to prevent flooding. (Lionello)
Climate and Environmental Impancts
With climate change in effect Venice has felt a large portrtion of that due to rising sea levels. With the higher sea levels there is accelerated shoreline erosion and Acqua alta(high tides). Which effect the local economy which heavily relies on tourism. As well as negative effects infurstructure for historical and local homes. Marine life and ecosystems are heavily effected due to saltwater contaminating it and altering the ecosystem as a whole.
Other Places with Similar Effects
Similar flooding also occurs in low-lying costal cities suck as Jakarta, Indonesia and Miami, USA.(CMCC Foundation). The Maldives as well are at risk of sinking due to rising sea levels. Locally it would lead to vunerability to flooding and lead to the change weather patterns and effect agriculture. Globally with the destruction of infurstructure to such a famous city and lack of tourism it would show the severity of climate change and how it is erasing our history and beauty from the world.
