Understanding the Threat of Sea-Level Rise
A recent study highlights the alarming implications of sea-level rise due to fossil fuel emissions. Even if we achieve the Paris climate agreement’s target of 1.5°C, we may still face significant challenges. This rising sea level can drive migration patterns inward, a phenomenon that we have never witnessed in modern civilization.
As coastal areas become increasingly uninhabitable, the displacement of populations will intensify. The potential for large-scale migration poses a crisis that governments and communities must address urgently. If proactive measures are not taken, we risk facing unprecedented levels of disruption and social upheaval.
