The Challenge | Rising Water

Sea levels are rising around the world, and approximately 40% of the human population lives in coastal zones. Your challenge is to help communicate the impacts of rising oceans by creating a visualization tool that illustrates the changes caused by rising sea levels in your region.

Background:

Imagine one day when you wake up from sleep and realise that your house is flooded by sea water. This could be the results of the human ignorance towards climate change and rising sea water, which is a serious issue to be handled right now.

Goal:

OceanRise aims to effectively protect the earth from the global effects caused by climate change resulted from rising sea level around the world. OceanRise provides visualisation tool for people to see the current and future effects resulted from these issues if no actions is taken. Besides, OceanRise also provides additional features such as event publishing and donation for organisations to advertise their awareness program and volunteers can sign up for related event from this website in order to take action towards rising sea level problem.
