Areas on the frontline ⚠️
 
Sea levels have climbed over 9 cm in just 25 years and are now rising at more than double the pace seen from 1999–2009, over 4 mm every year in the past decade.
 
For small islands, atolls and coastal regions, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Erosion, flooding and damage to infrastructure are no longer future threats — they’re realities. Whole communities face uncertainty about their homes and futures.

Globally, more than 680 million people live in low-lying coastal areas directly exposed to these changes.
 
This is what’s at stake as our climate continues to shift.
