Rising sea levels could force England to lose 200,000 coastal properties worth tens of billions of pounds over 30 years as the climate crisis spreads further, new research data suggests.

According to the British "Guardian" report on June 14, these high-risk areas include North Somerset, Sedgemoor, Wyle, Northeast Lincolnshire and Swell. Last week, the head of the UK's Environment Agency, James Bevin, warned that many homes would either be unretainable or would be so financially expensive to retain that entire communities would have to move inland, which he said was "all inconvenient". The hardest part of the truth." These properties are worth tens of billions of pounds.

The report also pointed out that by 2050, sea levels along the UK coast are expected to rise by about 35 cm. In addition to this, the eroded foreshore leads to rougher waves during storm season.

Nearly 200,000 homes and businesses are at risk of being abandoned, researchers from the University of East Anglia's Tyndall Centre have found. Lead researcher Paul Sayers said: "Significant sea level rise is inevitable today. For many of our large coastal cities, protection will continue, but for some coastal communities this may not be possible. We need a national Seriously discuss the scale of the threat to these communities, as well as equitable and sustainable measures, including how to help people resettle."
