It’s a fact—rising sea level is now unstoppable. We have to adapt while there is still time. Flooding from rising seas is a deadly threat to coastal communities around the world. Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward explores how sea level rise will affect investments, economies, national security, and the environment . . . and what we need to do to tackle the challenge. Internationally renowned oceanographer John Englander outlines strategies for everyone who will be affected by this phenomenon. Homeowners, business leaders, engineers, architects, and investors alike will benefit from Englander’s honest analysis and visionary view for sustainable communities. Englander’s previous bestselling book, High Tide on Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis, clearly explained the surprising science behind rising sea levels. In this new and expanded work, he provides updates on the rapid melting in Antarctica and Greenland that could raise sea level ten feet in the coming decades, redrawing coastlines and maps worldwide. Moving to Higher Ground also offers readers tools to assess risk, such as a personal vulnerability checklist and a 9-Box Matrix for professional flood planning. To survive what’s coming, we need bold leadership to get ahead of this humanitarian and economic crisis. As tens of millions of people globally begin to face the challenge of rising seas and the permanent impact on coastal regions, there is also opportunity. Though trillions of dollars’ worth of assets will go underwater, adapting to rising seas will also be the economic engine of this century, allowing us to build a viable world for ourselves . . . and for future generations. “We have already passed the climate change tipping point; substantial sea level rise is now baked into our immediate future . . . but we still have a chance to keep the costly and damaging from becoming the crushing and catastrophic. John gives us a primer on how we got to this point and, more importantly, what we must do now to manage the flood that’s coming at us. In this extraordinary book, John gives us valuable historical perspective, fascinating insights and powerful data about what is happening now, and sound thinking about where we go from here (hint: it’s most likely inland).” —Senator Angus King
