We are committed to sea-level rise of at least 4mm/year over the coming century, contributing to increases in extreme flooding, coastal erosion and shoreline changes, as well as the salinization of estuaries, soils and coastal aquifers. Adaptation will be required to manage these hazards and their consequences for human activities, coastal infrastructure and ecosystems.

Keywords: climate change; sea-level rise (SLR); adaptation; climate services; coastal risks
