Adapting to Sea Level Rise
The World Bank has produced a five-minute video about future ocean inundation scenarios for Majuro Atoll. The video is part of a study produced jointly by the World Bank and the RMI government called “Adapting to Rising Sea Levels in the Marshall Islands.” It provides visual projections about the flooding that is forecast to occur as sea levels continue to rise. It also suggests possible options for adaptation, including increasing the height of the islands and “reclaiming” (filling) land.
