The United States is employing efforts to combat sea level rise, including creating dunescapes and beaches to absorb storm energy, building seawalls, and raising road infrastructure.According to Earth.gov, global sea levels have risen 10 centimeters between 1993 and 2020. The projected global sea level rise is 15 cm between 2020 and 2050. In the United...
Over the last 30 years, global and UK tide-gauge records show a clear acceleration in sea-level rise. London’s relationship with water is as old as the city itself. Today, that relationship is changing faster than many residents realise: sea levels around the UK are rising, storm surges are becoming more frequent, and the choices made...
Sea-level rise remains underemphasized in Türkiye’s climate risk framework, primarily because it affects a limited geographic area while hazards such as drought and heat have a national reach.Sea-level rise along Türkiye’s coastlines has been documented in multiple academic studies over the past two decades. Peer-reviewed articles and technical studies demonstrate that relative sea level along...

Sea level rise (SLR) is a critical aspect of global climate change, particularly affecting coastal regions, including low-lying areas of southern Africa. Sea level rise in South Africa, a direct consequence of climate change, is an accelerating trend that poses significant threats to coastal property, infrastructure, and communities. The primary effects are increased coastal erosion and...
Saudi Arabia has made several public commitments to adapt to the effects of rising sea levels, including infrastructure protection, coastal management, and potentially relocation.Sea level rise along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea and Arabian Gulf coasts is a gradually intensifying threat that affects both individual properties and the broader community.

Japan has the technical capacity and financial resources to adapt to rising seas, but the window for cost-effective action is narrowing. Sea Level Rise Viewer Rising Seas in Japan: Local Impacts, Community Adaptation, and the Future of Coastal DevelopmentSea level rise (SLR) is no longer a distant projection in Japan; it is a measurable, accelerating trend...
Driven by climate change, SLR has accelerated along Indian shores, threatening to inundate urban centers, erode livelihoods, and strain economies.As India’s coastal megacities pulse with life and ambition, an invisible force is reshaping their foundations: sea level rise (SLR). From the bustling streets of Mumbai to the historic ghats of Kolkata, the encroaching ocean threatens...
Two-thirds of Germany’s coastline is currently eroding.General Situation Sea level rise in Germany is a pressing issue that reflects global trends and is accelerating rapidly, posing substantial risks to the country’s extensive low-lying coastlines along the North Sea and Baltic Sea.
