Sea rise is coming to a coast near you.
We know that sea-level rise caused by climate change will affect every country with a coastline. Because Aotearoa is such a tectonically active country, however, we also need to think about land movement. Low-lying areas of coastline that are subsiding will be the first to experience the impacts of sea-level rise.
Here are some stories of how people and places are likely to be affected and how they could adapt to sea levels rising.
