The Maldives is low lying (only about 5 feet above sea level) so it's particularly at risk. So, Dutch development company, Dutch Docklands, is proposing an innovative development there.
It involves a floating private island, a floating 18-hole golf course (complete with underwater, see-through tunnels between holes), a hotel and convention center, 185 villas, and a further 72 houses on four ringed islands. The islands are attached to the seabed with flexible lines, or retractable mono-piles, which allow the structures to move gently up and down.
It's a good example of the kind of innovations climate change challenges will promote and you can read more about it here.
