Lesson Overview

This challenge relates to Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action. Since 1970, the number of natural disasters has risen 4x to over 400 per year. More than 600 million people live in coastal areas. Coastal communities like those on the Southeast coast of the United States are becoming more and more at risk due to increased storm frequency, duration, and strength. These storms bring powerful winds and ocean surges that threaten the sustainability of living by the sea.
