The recent easing of coastal development regulations in Nova Scotia has left local communities to navigate the challenges posed by rising sea levels. Without strict oversight, the responsibility for managing climate-related risks has shifted to homeowners and municipalities. As they face increased vulnerability, environmental degradation, and economic consequences, Nova Scotia’s communities must choose wisely how to approach development and consider strategies for resilience.
Climate change is a global crisis with profound regional impacts. In France, the effects are already being felt in the form of more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, floods, and rising sea levels. These changes are having a significant impact on agriculture, tourism, energy, and other sectors of the French economy.
It is imperative that we understand the regional impacts of climate change in France and take immediate action to mitigate and adapt to these effects. By doing so, we can protect our communities, economy, and environment for generations to come.
