Coastal cities dependent on both inland resources and marine environments face a uniquely complex vulnerability to climate change. Rising seas, intensifying storms, and shifting ecosystems are no longer abstract projections; they are daily realities reshaping economies, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Recognizing a need for targeted action, the Stimson Center launched an ambitious effort under the Our Ocean Conference to better understand and ultimately reduce climate risk in vulnerable coastal communities.
