Analysis reveals the Everglades National Park as the site most threatened by climate change in the U.S., with Washington's Olympic National Park also at risk.
A recent analysis has identified some of the world's most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites as being at significant risk from climate-related threats, including 21 in the United States.Conducted by climate risk analytics firm Climate X, the report highlights the vulnerability of 500 UNESCO sites worldwide, with a focus on those most at risk by 2050 if urgent action is not taken to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate X's co-founder, Kamil Kluza, echoed the urgency of the situation, telling Newsweek: 'I think the message is that the risks are there and they need to be actively worked upon.'That means investment budgets and putting money on the side for both climate adaptation as well as reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
