HONOLULU A new study from the University of Hawai‘i s School of Architecture has offered detailed short- and long-term design alterations that could help the state combat the effects of climate change.
Scientists have warned that Hawai‘i could face a rise of up to 3 feet (0.91 meters) in sea level over the next few decades, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Monday.
The effects of climate change in Honolulu, in particular, could force as many as 13,300 people from their homes and cause an estimated $13 billion in economic losses, the outlet reported.
“When you read sea-level rise reports, it’s scary,” said Judith Stilgenbauer, the principal investigator of the project at the University of Hawai‘i Community Design Center and professor of landscape architecture. “But there’s a real opportunity here to get an early start on planning for the inevitable.”
