Climate Change Increases Rate Of Coastal Erosion

GREAT YARMOUTH - JANUARY 15: Waves crash against destroyed sea defences in the coastal village of Happisburgh on January 15, 2020 in Great Yarmouth, United Kingdom. The sea defences, which were built in the late 1950s at Happisburgh, North Norfolk have been failing over recent years and eroding the sandy cliffs, causing many buildings and farmland to be lost to the sea. The effects of global climate change causing storms and sea swells has seen the East Coast of the United Kingdom lose up to one metre of coast line each year.
