Why a battle over a seawall is key to the future of PEIs crumbling shores

A dispute over a stone seawall on a public beach exposes PEI\u2019s climate vulnerability and raises questions about natural solutions to the island\u2019s eroding shores. CBC producer Janna Graham takes us to visit "The Wall" and learn what\u2019s at stake as the island faces rising sea levels and more storm surges like Fiona. Next, we go down under to hear what Australia's deadly wildfires can teach us about the decision to "stay and defend" your property despite evacuation orders. Then, we tag along with a group of young people who want climate jobs and are banging down the government\u2019s door to get them. We hear about their demands for a \u201cYouth Climate Corps\u201d.
