Description
Kevin Jordan thought he would spend his retirement listening to the sound of the sea at his home on the Norfolk coast in eastern England. But his dream collapsed in November last year and he lost everything overnight when he got notified that his house had to be demolished due to coastal erosion. Perched on a fragile sand cliff, Jordan's house was like dozens of others overlooking Hemsby Beach, some eight miles (13 kilometres) north of Great Yarmouth in the United Kingdom. Now the former engineer is part of a landmark legal case brought by Friends of the Earth, accusing the government of not doing enough to protect Britons from the foreseeable effects of climate change.
