Carthage is crumbling... not from age, but from climate change

In Tunisia, the ancient city that once faced Rome now has a modern enemy: rising seas, salt-laden winds, and relentless erosion.The damage is already visible:- Parts of the Baths of Antoninus are deteriorating so fast they’ve been closed off.- Sections of the Punic Port are collapsing into the sea UNESCO warns that 73% of World Heritage sites are already at risk. By 2050, the number of Africa’s most endangered coastal heritage sites could triple. Experts say saving Carthage means acting globally and locally, reducing emissions while protecting the site itself. Because this isn’t only about "stone and history"; it’s about identity, memory, and the stories that connect communities. As the climate crisis deepens, heritage shouldn’t be a victim, it should be part of the solution.
