New reports show iconic Australian beachside towns could be washed away.
Bells beach, Byron bay and Cottesloe are under threat as new scientific modelling indicates severe rising sea levels.
New report from the intergovernmental panel for climate change has indicated that sea levels could rise by 0.84m by the 2100 if action isn’t taken now.
To combat this, Coastal Risk Australia has introduced an interactive map that can show locals how rising sea levels are directly impacting their communities in order to prompt change.
NGIS executive director Nathan Eadie says, “scenarios beyond 2050 become increasingly sensitive to choices and actions made by global communities to reduce emissions.”
