UK houses worth 584 million pounds to fall into sea amid coastal erosion: Report
Hindustan TimesAs global warming and its impact continue to impact many parts of the world, a new study conducted by a climate action group showed that thousands of coastal houses in Britain are at risk of sinking. Climate change advocacy group One Home said that this would include 21 coastal villages and hamlets in England and houses worth almost 584 million pounds. "Using data from the Environment Agency's National Coastal Erosion Risk Mapping, the organisation calculated the projected loss amount by region and the average price of properties in each region," Mirror reported quoting the study. “The areas that are at risk of being submerged include seaside villages in Cornwall, Cumbria, Dorset, East Yorkshire, Essex, Kent, the Isle of Wight, Northumberland, Norfolk, and Sussex, amounting to 2,218 properties that are together worth around 584 million pounds,” the study said.
