The Dutch, already leaders in innovative sea level rise adaptation, have a strategy in place to climate-proof the city of Rotterdam by 2025. Instead of fighting the water, they are working with it with plans for a floating neighborhood and floating dairy farm already in development. The city is also advising other cities with similar risk on how to adapt. This type of international collaboration between cities facing similar climate change-related risks is becoming increasingly common. Since\u00a0not all coastal cities have the resources to adapt to the effects of climate change, one solution to this problem is the Educational Partnerships for Innovation in Communities Network (Epic-N), an initiative based in the United States that\u00a0works to connect university students with cities and communities in need of adaptation solutions.\u00a0<strong><br \/>\nMy<\/strong> <strong>Comment<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; The effects of a rising shore line will be like nothing we have experienced in human history.
