Podcasts about rising sea levels

“Climate change is the biggest health threat of our century, so we need to train clinicians for a future where it will alter disease patterns, the demand on health systems, and how care is delivered,” says Dr. Sandro Demaio, director of the WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, underscoring the stakes behind the organization's first regionally-focused climate and health strategy. The five-year plan Dr. Demaio is leading aims to help governments in 38 countries with 2.2 billion people manage rising heat, extreme weather, sea-level change, air pollution and food insecurity by adapting health systems, protecting vulnerable populations, and reducing emissions from the healthcare sector itself. In this timely interview with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Demaio draws on his experiences in emergency medicine, global public health, pandemic response and climate policy to argue for an interconnected approach to strengthening systems and preparing a healthcare workforce to meet the heath impacts of growing environmental challenges. This is a great opportunity to learn how climate change is reshaping medicine, public health and the future of care delivery.  Mentioned in this episode: WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Senegal's former capital Saint-Louis, a coastal city and UNESCO World Heritage site, is threatened by rising sea levels caused by climate change. Estimates show that 70 percent of the city could disappear underwater by 2100. Thousands of fishermen have already been relocated. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.

Vietnam's Mekong Delta is under serious threat from climate change. The agricultural region, which produces half of the country's food supply, is being hit hard by rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion, which devastate rice crops. The landscape is changing, and with it, the delicate balance of an entire ecosystem. FRANCE 24's William de Tamaris, Aruna Popuri, Melodie Sforza and Justin McCurry report. 

Robin Bell (pictured), a Marie Tharp Lamont Research Professor with the Marine and Polar Geophysics department at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, was one of three speakers at a webinar organised by The Columbia Climate School and chaired by the Professor and Senior Vice Dean, Columbia Climate School; Professor of Environmental Health Sciences, Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, Jeffrey Shaman.Experts from the Columbia Climate School and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory gathered for a candid conversation about what real climate responsibility looked like at the personal, local, and systemic levels. The panellists discussed the connection between individual actions and large-scale societal efforts, all within the context of the planet's rapidly changing climate and the evolution of climate awareness and action. They explored the steps we could each take to expand our impact.

Framed by turquoise water, dark mangroves and mountains, the heart of Voh looks like a message of love from nature. But this famous natural motif of the Pacific is in danger: As sea levels rise, its shape is changing. The symbol of New Caledonia is about to fade... - Eingerahmt von türkisfarbenem Wasser, dunklen Mangroven und Bergen wirkt das Herz von Voh wie ein Liebesgruß der Natur. Doch dieses berühmte Naturmotiv des Pazifiks steht unter Druck: Mit dem Anstieg des Meeresspiegels verändert sich seine Gestalt. Das Symbol Neukaledoniens droht zu verblassen...

Few countries in the world are considered more vulnerable to the impact of rising sea levels and climate change than Bangladesh, a nation of 175 million people squeezed into a landmass the size of Iowa.

The Maldives, a dream destination in the Indian Ocean that's popular with tourists from around the world, is threatened by rising sea levels – a direct consequence of climate change. Scientists warn the archipelago could even disappear by the end of the century. The country is building artificial islands to support its economy, which is heavily dependent on tourism. But these projects are accelerating coastal erosion, and NGOs are concerned about the devastating effects on reefs. As a result, some inhabitants have already been forced to leave their homes. FRANCE 24's Léa Delfolie and Aminath Liuvina report, with Anna Hartley.

No coastal city is immune to rising sea levels - and one expert has warned New Zealand could be at risk of sinking shorelines. A new study from a group of New Zealand researchers shows human activity is exacerbating the risks of oceans rising and impacting land. Physicist and science writer Laurie Winkless says oceans are getting warmer and glaciers are melting - and it's something that should be considered for future urban planning.

Brazil, which is hosting the COP30 summit in the Amazon in November, is facing a worrying rise in sea levels due to global warming. Sea levels in the village of Atafona, in the north of Rio de Janeiro state, could rise some 21cm by 2050, according to UN forecasts. The village is experiencing one of the world's most serious environmental disasters due to coastal erosion. Every year, the sea advances by an average of six metres. Across the country, over 2 million people could be affected in the long term by rising sea levels. In Santos, in the state of Sao Paulo, the mayor's office is trying to anticipate matters in order to avoid an economic and human catastrophe. FRANCE 24's Louise Raulais and Jan Onoszko report.

The Danish harbour town of Svendborg, like many cities, has faced severe storm surges and pluvial flooding in recent years. How can towns like Svendborg adapt to the increasing threat of flooding caused by climate change? And could learning to live with regular, controlled flooding – rather than fighting it – be the answer?  This is part two of Let's Talk Architecture's deep dive into how Danish architects and planners are addressing the water-related challenges of climate change.   In this episode, host Michael Booth speaks with architect Anna Als Nielsen from Svendborg Municipality about the town's innovative response. Instead of investing in costly sea walls and flood barriers, Svendborg is embracing a new approach: allowing controlled flooding in specific areas and transforming them into attractive recreational spaces.  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center.

In Indonesia, the Catholic Laudato Si' Movement is expanding its grassroots advocacy for climate action. Christians make up just 11 per cent of the majority-Muslim country. So is there a place for interfaith cooperation on environmentalism in Indonesia?  

In 2019, Nova Scotia's then-Liberal government passed the Coastal Protection Act — legislation that would have brought in regulations around building near the coast. In 2021, the Conservatives were voted into power, and it sounded like they were keen to keep the Act in place.But in February 2024, Nova Scotia's government announced that they wouldn't. Instead, the responsibility for regulating coastal development would be downloaded onto municipalities, and in some cases, even homeowners.Matthew McClearn is a data journalist for the Globe's energy and environment team. He's on the show to talk about what Nova Scotia's abandonment of the Coastal Protection Act tells us about their approach to climate adaptation, and what happens when a province makes climate change an issue of personal responsibility.Questions?

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.In this episode of Discover Daily, hosts Alex and Sienna begin with Liquid AI's new Liquid Foundation Models, which are challenging traditional large language model architectures. They also discuss Telegram's significant shift in privacy policy, as the messaging app agrees to share user data with authorities in response to legal requests, raising concerns about the balance between user privacy and legal compliance.The main story of the episode focuses on the fascinating phenomenon of melting glaciers in the Alps, which are causing the border between Switzerland and Italy to shift. As climate change accelerates glacial retreat, the two countries have had to come together to redefine their frontier officially. This situation not only symbolizes the dramatic impact of global warming but also has practical implications for land management, tourism, and national security.The hosts delve into the economic consequences of these border changes, such as the potential impact on ski resorts, cross-border tourism, and labor markets. They also discuss how this is just one example of the far-reaching effects of climate change, with rising sea levels and melting Arctic ice leading to similar challenges in other regions. The episode emphasizes the need for international cooperation and individual action to address the complex geopolitical, economic, and social consequences of a changing climate.From Perplexity's Discover Page:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/telegram-s-policy-shift-eemFWW2gQQiX7EiWxlL7QQPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Over the past 30 years, Greece has lost some 250 square kilometers of its beaches. This is expected to rise as climate change and rising temperatures continue to push up sea levels. Experts warn Greece is in the “red zone” because measures to stabilize the country's beaches are long overdue. Costas Synolakis, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the Technical University of Crete and the University of Southern California and a preeminent authority on the impact of natural hazards, joins Thanos Davelis to look at what coastal erosion means not just for Greece's shores, but also for the Greeks living in coastal communities, and break down what steps Greece can take.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece in the ‘red zone' of coastal erosion, warns expert'Unprecedented': Why Hezbollah threatened to attack CyprusHezbollah head threatens Cyprus in televised addressSummer wildfires plague Greece and Turkey.

While the future Long Island will guard against sea level rise, the trade-offs to marine life and the East Coast's character must be addressed, stakeholders told host Shabana Begum.  Synopsis (headphones recommended): By end-century, Singapore's mean sea level is expected to rise by up to 1.15m. Now a top attraction in the area, East Coast Park would be a place to avoid if nothing is done.  Frequent floods are likely to put the beach underwater in the future, as climate change continues to exacerbate rising sea levels. And if exceptionally high tides or storm surges were to hit, seawater levels could rise up to 5m, breaking through the coast. The entire park, East Coast Parkway, vehicles and void decks at housing estates like Marine Parade in the vicinity could be submerged in water.  To prevent this reality, there are plans to have a defence offshore. That is Long Island, twice the size of Marina Bay reclaimed off the east coast, with a reservoir in between. But such a mega project raises many uncertainties and questions. How would reclamation for Long Island change the East Coast landscape? What are the implications for nature and marine life nearby? What do young people - who will live to see the project taking shape - have to say?  As the June 14 oil spill has shown, human activity - if not managed properly - can threaten coastal and marine habitats, including the biodiversity-rich Southern Islands.  In this second episode of Green Trails, our team heads to East Coast Park and a lesser known habitat near Marina Barrage - important to threatened species and likely to be threatened by reclamation - to find answers.  At the heart of East Coast Park, ST journalist Shabana Begum meets with representatives from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and National Water Agency PUB - Mr Lee Wai Kin and Mr Thoo Jung Chee. Both agencies are spearheading the Long Island project. At the little-known Marina East Drive habitat, Shabana uncovers the wildlife there when she takes a walk with Mr Lester Tan, who chairs Nature Society (Singapore)'s Marine Conservation Group. In the evening, Shabana returns to East Coast Park to speak with Mr Maximus Tan, 22 and Mr Crispus Tan, 27.

Idyllic water views may be great for tourists, but for homeowners and residents of coastal communities, they can be a foreboding red flag. With each passing year, the climate crisis brings more extreme storms, storm surge, and even sunny-day flooding—all on top of rising sea levels. This episode explores policy approaches to help build resilience for coastal communities. Dan and Alison sit down with Jeff Peterson, co-facilitator at the Coastal Flood Resilience Project, to talk about a wide range of solutions, including risk disclosure, strengthening infrastructure, supporting relocation efforts, and more.   Show notes: Sea Level Rise: Policies to Anticipate Threats and Build Preparedness: https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/051822climatechange  A Resilient Future for Coastal Communities: https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/a-resilient-future-for-coastal-communities  Celebrating Two Years of Coastal Resilience Solutions at EESI! https://www.eesi.org/podcasts/view/4.4-celebrating-two-years-of-coastal-resilience-solutions-at-eesi  In the Face of Rising Sea Levels, Experts Call for Nationwide Coastal Management Approach: https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/in-the-face-of-rising-sea-levels-experts-call-for-nationwide-coastal-management-approach Q&A: What Is the Future for New Jersey's Coastal Marshes? https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/qa-what-is-the-future-for-new-jerseys-coastal-marshes

Welcome to Season 6 of The Climate Conversation podcast! To kick off the season, we are discussing a book, The Octopus in the Parking Garage: A Call for Climate Resilience. Since its publication earlier this year, The Octopus in the Parking Garage has helped non-expert readers understand climate resilience in a way that is not only accessible, but also empowering. Author Rob Verchick—a renowned climate law scholar and professor at Loyola University New Orleans—sits down with Dan and Alison to talk about the major themes and findings from his book, including public perception of climate and resilience, modern forms of casteism, and planning for an uncertain future.    Show notes: A Resilient Future for Coastal Communities: Federal Policy Recommendations from Solutions in Practice: https://www.eesi.org/papers/view/a-resilient-future-for-coastal-communities  Climate Adaptation: A Review of Federal Legislation Enacted Since 2017: https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/climate-adaptation-a-review-of-federal-legislation-enacted-since-2017  In the Face of Rising Sea Levels, Experts Call for Nationwide Coastal Management Approach: https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/in-the-face-of-rising-sea-levels-experts-call-for-nationwide-coastal-management-approach  Planning and Acting for a Resilient Coastal Louisiana: https://www.eesi.org/podcasts/view/s3e2-planning-and-acting-for-a-resilient-coastal-louisiana  Climate Adaptation Programs across Agencies: https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/031822fed Public Polling on Climate Change: https://www.eesi.org/briefings/view/020923camp

Much of Maui has been decimated following one of the deadliest wildfires in U.S. history, wildfires are still ravaging Canada, ice in the arctic is melting rapidly, sea levels are rising and we've had the hottest day measured on our planet this year. There's a lot happening as it relates to climate change. “It's not the summer from hell, it's the summer that sort of is hell,” says our guest this week. Bill McKibben is an environmentalist, educator, author and founder of Third Act, which has a mission to organize people over the age of 60 for action on climate and justice. He's also a founder of 350.org, the first global grassroots climate campaign. His 1989 book, “The End of Nature” is regarded as the first book for a general audience about climate change. McKibben recently wrote a piece for the New Yorker titled, “To Save the Planet, Should We Really Be Moving Slower?,” which talks about the degrowth movement, which calls on countries to embrace zero or negative G.D.P. growth, making a comeback. He joins WITHpod to discuss the growth debates of the 70s vs. contemporary ones, parallels between protecting the planet and our democracy, why this moment is such an inflection point and more.

Washington has spent nearly $2 trillion on “clean” energy incentives and is still pushing for a “Green New Deal”—all due to the prevailing concern about climate change. But what if they're wrong? Today, I'm sitting down with the Department of Energy's former Under Secretary of Science, Steve Koonin, to talk about the real facts behind modern climate science.Topics Discussed:An Introduction to Steven Koonin (00:00:00)Why Climate Change is a Hot-Button Issue (00:02:09)Rising Sea Levels and Melting Ice Caps (00:08:19)Hurricanes, Tornadoes and other Disasters (13:45)What's Causing Climate Change (00:19:53)Climate Science's Effect on Society(00:26:40)Changing Weather Challenges Global Warming (00:33:36)The Death of Fossil Fuels Has Been Greatly Exaggerated (00:38:41)Guest Bio: Steven Koonin is a theoretical physicist and former Under Secretary for Science at the Department of Energy.

Small island nations are facing an existential threat. It's predicted that by 2100, Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Maldives and many others will be underwater, because of rising sea levels and increasingly extreme weather events. At the recent COP27 conference in Egypt. The most polluting industrialised countries agreed in principle to set up a “loss and damage” fund, effectively recognising that low-lying islands are bearing the brunt of climate change. But is their loss inevitable? Could traditional sea wall defences hold back the waters, or are there more effective solutions? Will entire communities need to be moved to higher ground, or even entire nations transplanted to safer locations? This week on the Inquiry, we're asking: will rising sea levels wipe countries off the map? Presented by Charmaine Cozier Produced by Ravi Naik Researcher Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty Editor Tara McDermott Technical producer Richard Hannaford Broadcast Coordinator Brenda Brown (a woman in a lagoon in the threatened coral atoll nation of Tuvalu.
