BASQUE COUNTRY, PERIL IN THE HOUSE

The grim realities of climate change

An episode from the series EARTH ON EDGE

Synopsis

The French southwestern coastline is an extremely attractive area with its rocky cliffs that drop into the Atlantic, its endless beaches, and dynamic urban centers.

However, these grandiose landscapes could change dramatically in a few years.

Under the effects of global warming, the rise in sea level is accelerating. Storms are becoming stronger and more frequent and are increasing the erosion of beaches and cliffs.
