Rising sea levels, largely caused by climate change, could disrupt the lives of millions of Americans in the coming decades.

The U.S.'s extensive coastline, which is densely populated, will be vulnerable to more frequent and intense flooding, coastal erosion, and the loss of critical infrastructure.These changes will profoundly impact American life—displacing communities, reshaping coastlines, and causing widespread economic disruption.

Rising sea levels will also have widespread economic impacts across the country, Margaret Walls, director of Climate Risks and Resilience Program at nonprofit Resources for the Future, told Newsweek.This could be things as simple as local workers being unable to reach their place of work because of flooding, or retail businesses suffering if customers are unable to reach, along with the risks of damage to roads and buildings.
