Sea level rise (SLR) is expected to become an increasingly prominent challenge as the climate changes. Many of the measures to reduce the impacts of SLR are in the hands of municipalities, including changing building codes and land use issues. This report explores how states and municipalities interact to address SLR, providing an overview of the state of practice, some reasons for different levels of action, and some of the needs of municipalities.
