Denmark: Raising Benches for Rising Sea Levels
TV2 Denmark, the Danish Broadcasting Company, launched the campaign ‘Our Earth – Our Responsibility’ in Copenhagen to make people talk about the climate change and rising sea levels in the city. Some benches have been raised by one meter and are setup at some of the prominent places in an effort to show the people how the city benches might look due to climate crisis and resultant sea level increase. Copper plates have been put on the benches which read: “Flooding will become part of everyday life unless we start doing something about our climate. According to the latest UN Climate Report, sea-levels are expected to rise up to one meter before 2100, if global warming continues.”
