New Reports Estimate Multi-Billion-Dollar Economic Risks for Mid-Atlantic, San Diego Regions Due to Climate Change

Two recent reports from the Institute’s Center for the Blue Economy (CBE) estimate multi-billion-dollar economic impacts on both the East and West Coasts of the U.S. due to sea level rise and intensified storm activity driven by climate change, with millions of homes and jobs at risk, as well as billions in property. CBE Research Director Charles Colgan served as the lead author for both reports, which identified major economic risk factors for the Mid-Atlantic and San Diego County coastal regions.
