Summary
Climate change and rising sea levels pose an existential threat to Jamestown, Virginia, by subjecting America’s first permanent English settlement to unprecedented flooding and severe coastal erosion. Located on a low-lying island along the James River, the site serves as a stark blueprint for a broader crisis threatening coastal cultural heritage globally. Scientists and coastal geologists warn that without aggressive intervention, vast portions of Jamestown Island could be entirely underwater by 2100.
