Impacts Of Climate Change

Current marine ecosystems have profoundly changed since the pre-industrial era and the pace of change has accelerated greatly over the past four decades. What will be the state of our oceans in 2050? Are we capable of plotting a new course and reversing many of the most severe impacts we have had on the oceans so far? ‘The future of our oceans’ explains that recent studies have shown that no ocean wilderness remains anywhere on the planet since the impacts of climate change and human activities are so widespread and unmanageable. The challenge now is to find ways to stabilize and prevent the further degradation of marine ecosystems and embark on a path of ocean restoration.

Impacts Of Climate Change

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the vulnerability of Florida’s coastal destinations to climate change and the costs of the adaptation measures required to cope with the impacts of climate change in a range of current and future scenarios. Design/methodology/approach The paper illustrates a range of current and projected climate change scenarios in Florida, the challenges the state is already experiencing in dealing with the impacts of climate change and some of the measures adopted to date in three particularly vulnerable coastal destinations, namely Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach and Sarasota. Findings Although tourism is the number one industry in Florida, the state holds a particularly vulnerable position with respect to climate change. The vacuum of political will to address these issues at the state level is thus of particular concern given the vulnerable position of Florida’s coastal areas. With nearly 10 percent of its land area lying at less than one meter above the present sea level, adaptation is especially urgent in Florida. The local government of Florida’s cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Miami Beach and Sarasota are not willing to surrender to sea level rise (SLR). However, without a strong political will to address climate change at the state and federal levels, the costs of adapting to an escalating SLR are becoming progressively unsustainable. Originality/value This illustrative case study paper provides a contemporary synthesis of the implications for Florida’s coastal tourism destinations of rising sea levels and those adaptation strategies deemed appropriate in the search for their longer-term sustainability.
