Miami has unveiled a “climate ready plan” outlining ways to adapt to sea-level rise. The largest part of it is a stormwater master plan, which should be finished next year and will involve installing pumps, raising seawalls and elevating roads. The plan also incorporates planting mangroves along the waterfront and considers the possibility of abandoning certain parts of the city as the sea rises.
