Why is it necessary to understand and adapt
to our changing global climate?
Rhode Island features some of the world’s most beautiful coastal properties,
but climate change increases the risks to seaside home ownership.
As global temperatures increase, sea levels rise and storms become harsher and more frequent,
the inherent risks and danger to waterfront living must be carefully considered and addressed.
