Climate change is projected to impact the rise of sea levels significantly. As global temperatures continue to rise, the polar ice caps and glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate. This influx of melted ice is gradually causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal communities and natural habitats worldwide. The melting of polar ice caps and glaciers contributes to rising sea levels by adding more water to the oceans. This increased volume of water can lead to flooding in low-lying coastal areas, damaging infrastructure and displacing communities. In addition, the influx of saline water can intrude into freshwater sources, jeopardizing agricultural lands and drinking water supplies.
Rising sea levels can also exacerbate the impacts of storm surges and high tides, leading to more frequent and severe coastal inundation events. These events can cause erosion of coastlines, loss of habitats, and damage to infrastructure assets and the built environment, threatening human and ecological communities. In conclusion, climate change will continue exacerbating the rise in sea levels, significantly impacting coastal communities and ecosystems. Adaptation and mitigation strategies are essential to address these challenges and safeguard the future of our planet.
ClimaTwin® is a leading climate risk intelligence solution for infrastructure assets and the built environment.
We empower infrastructure stakeholders to mitigate climate risks and assess adaptation actions across the total asset lifecycle.
