SUMMARY:2014 Rising Seas Summit
DESCRIPTION:The inaugural Rising Seas Summit brought together more than 170 professionals from national and local government\, industry\, academic institutions and environmental NGOs together to highlight the interrelationships between sea level rise\, climate change and extreme events.

Sea level rise will continue to damage coastal ecosystems and inland water systems\, and the recent catastrophic impacts of Hurricane Sandy have demonstrated the risks faced by all coastal communities on the U.S. eastern seaboard. These new environmental challenges require that stakeholders share knowledge and work together to reduce and mitigate environmental and social degradation induced by climate change.
