In the next 100 years Atlantic sea levels are predicted to rise by up to 1m. Thousands of communities will be displaced, unique landscapes will be lost and the geography of the Atlantic will be changed forever.

Atlantic Rising is a charity embarking on a 32,000km journey to circumnavigate the Atlantic overland along this 1m contour line. Along the way we are creating an educational network between 15,000 students in low-lying coastal communities. Through our photography, films and writing, we are also documenting what will be lost if these predictions come true.

We believe education and co-operation are the strongest weapons we have to tackle climate change. By exploring different local experiences we want to highlight our shared responsibility to tackle this critical issue. And by encouraging international friendships between students we hope to make people care enough to act.
