🔟 Shaping tomorrow’s coastlines: the long-term impact of #SeaLevelRise

Population dynamics strongly impact coastal vulnerability, emphasizing the need for strategies addressing both emissions and demographics

9️⃣ #Impacts and #adaptation strategies for #SeaLevelRise by 2150

Balancing protection and retreat is essential to address #SeaLevelRise impacts sustainably on a global scale

8️⃣ Navigating uncertainty: adapting to #SeaLevelRise with flexible strategies

Uncertainties are not barriers to action: Decision science offers pathways to act amid the uncertainties, leveraging adaptation frameworks and pathways.

7️⃣ Sea level is committed to rise until 2300 and
beyond, but we can influence how much and how fast

The Paris Agreement scenario buys 100 more years to adapt to a 1m #SeaLevelRise

6️⃣Regional sea level change is different from
the global average

👉Use regional sea-level rise projections for planning and adaptation

5️⃣ The #Greenland Ice Sheet is losing its protective compressed snow (firn) buffer, accelerating mass loss

We should monitor Greenland’s firn layer to improve and model sea level rise

4️⃣ Future #SeaLevel: the enduring legacy of #Antarctic ice loss

Even with the Paris Agreement, Antarctica may face irreversible changes, driving long-term sea-level rise

3️⃣ Ice shelf ocean melting and #iceberg calving
control the accelerated mass loss of the #Antarctic Ice Sheet-
Let’s include them in climate models

2️⃣ Every glacierized region evolves differently under climate change, and so do the impacts

The 275 000 glaciers in the world react differently. Impacts range from water shortages to hydropower disruptions
