“What is very likely is that we're going to lose a lot more of our wetlands at even higher rates than what we've seen in the last century. And that will likely lead to a situation that New Orleans becomes more like a fortress...with most of the surrounding area basically open water." 1/🧵

Louisiana could lose 75% of its remaining coastal wetlands by 2070. New Orleans could end up surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the century, say Tulane University researchers in Nature Sustainability. But communities aren't waiting to act. Join us tomorrow to learn more: buff.ly/ZMZOuWS

Louisiana is losing land faster than almost anywhere on Earth. The communities that can least afford to leave are the ones most exposed. #climatejustice #environmentaljustice
