文摘
- •
Climate change could result in a worldwide race for adaptation resources.
- •
Our method estimates potential global demand for climate construction materials.
- •
Our approach leverages local data and engineering designs to estimate global demand.
- •
We tested our “minimum assumption credible design” approach for 221 seaports.
- •
Less than 10% of seaports require ∼436 M cubic meters of material for 2 m of sea level rise.
