Rising sea levels is the common natural hazard faced by islands such as the Maldives and the North Carolina barrier islands. This will impact the people who live there by causing coastal erosion, flooding, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources. As sea levels continue to rise due to climate change, residents of these islands may be forced to relocate to higher ground or even leave the islands altogether. This can have significant social, economic, and environmental consequences for the affected communities.
