A new report from the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy highlights how melting glaciers and extreme weather are affecting the state.

Melting glaciers, thawing permafrost, and rising sea levels are creating more severe flooding, landslides, and erosion.

The report emphasized that human-driven climate change is the reason for these events.

Alaska is working on a $100 million plan to prevent future flooding.
