Abstract

The world will face or is already experiencing climate change due to pollution and human activity. Sea level rise is one of the effects of climate change, and many regions are facing a range of natural phenomena, such as flooding, as a result. Most people agree that cities near the sea are undoubtedly the most affected areas. However, coastal cities vary in their economic conditions and geography, and this post is intended to focus on coastal cities within China, exploring what economic impacts sea level rise will have on cities in coastal areas.
