Educators play a key role in introducing students to the basics of sea level rise and helping them understand the impacts of climate change and the potential solutions.
Using interactive maps and compelling visuals, Coastal Risk Finder provides straightforward information about the causes, effects, and impacts of rising seas. Educators can guide students through mapping activities that explore the local impacts of our collective decisions.
These are the features most useful to educators, along with guidance on how to get the most out of the tool.
Educators can direct students to map a location and identify its future flood risk based on what decisions are made to reduce carbon pollution. Students can explore data about the people, land, and buildings threatened by coastal flooding in the 'Impacts' cards.
The Solutions cards explain how individuals and communities can adapt to rising seas in a warming world. Students can explore cards to understand general flood preparation and adaptation strategies, or review local projects for flood risk mitigation in their community.
