Figure 2: According to the World Resources Institute, 2.2 billion people, or 39% of the world’s population,
lives on or within 100 kilometers (60 miles) of a seashore. Adaptation to climate disruptions involves
developing ways to protect ourselves from climate impacts, such as building sea walls to protect communities
from rising sea levels or relocating coastal communities. Mitigation involves implementing ways to reduce
the rise of sea level, such as reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere that lead to
thermal expansion of the ocean.
