A new study concludes that rising sea levels will drive out three times as many people as previously thought. What do cities have to do now? How can people protect themselves in coastal regions? Landscape architect Kristina Hill, professor of urban ecology at UC Berkeley, is working with the Climate Readiness Institute to find innovative solutions for climate change. Among other things, she was involved in flood management strategies after Hurricane Katrina 2005 in New Orleans and works with experts in Europe and America to save coastal regions.
