Explore four ways climate change may affect Florida in 2025
South Florida Explore four ways climate change may affect Florida in 2025 Florida faces growing challenges from climate change. Rising sea levels are speeding up, with Miami expected to see about two feet of sea level rise by 2060 and as many as 23,000 people at risk for coastal flooding by 2050. Extreme weather like hurricanes and torrential rain is already damaging homes and raising costs for farmers, which means higher restaurant prices and food shortages. Programs like Miami Beach's "Fight the Flood Property Adaptation" are helping residents install flood barriers or raise their homes, but there are barriers like high property costs and delays. Cities are also using updated flood predictions to plan for new developments, knowing that building resilience and reducing emissions will be key steps moving forward.
