In this August 8, 2019, photo, a couple poses for a portrait on cement blocks placed as reinforcement against rising water levels near the citadel in Alexandria, Egypt. Egypt’s coastal city of Alexandria, which has survived invasions, fires and earthquakes since it was founded by Alexander the Great more than 2,000 years ago, now faces a new menace from climate change. Rising sea levels threaten to inundate poorer neighborhoods and archaeological sites, prompting authorities to erect concrete barriers out at sea to hold back the surging waves.
