Rising seas due to climate change threaten China’s rapidly developing coasts. However, coastal policy decisions will shape who and what is exposed to those rising seas and how much the land sinks, a new research paper published in Nature reveals. “Climate change is global, but coastal risk plays out locally”, the international team of Chinese and European researchers emphasize.
