I choose to discuss the effects of climate change in Europe and its cities such as Venice.

A country and its climate change

EUROPE

What effect does climate change have globally?
  • It can affect ecosystems and disrupt food chains
  • As seen, climate change can lead to water levels rising which can flood costal cities.
  • Rising temperatures can cause droughts making it harder for crops to be grown, depleting food sources.
  • Warmer temperatures also can lead to more aggressive weather patterns.

Whats being done?

Multiple things are being done to prevent the flooding in Venice...

CSome preventative measures being taken:

  • Raising the sea walls that protect the town
  • Restoring salt marshes and barrier islands
  • The construction of flood gates.
Where else in the world is experiencing flooding like this?

One place that is also experincing flooding like this on high tides is Miami Florida. Miami is a naturally low city. With the combination of all the buildings with poor drainage plans, impermiable surfaces such as concrete, and climate change raising water levels, Miami is slow "sinking" like Venice.
