Rising sea levels are a major concern for low-lying coastal communities and ecosystems across the globe, yet planning for future sea-level rise is hampered by uncertainties in future greenhouse gas emissions, how ice sheets will respond and other potential climate tipping points that lead to a wide range of possible future projections. The World Climate Research Programme’s Grand Challenge on 'Regional Sea-Level Change and Coastal Impacts’ was implemented to further advance understanding of natural and human contributions to sea level rise, promote advances in observations and foster the development of sea-level information that assists coastal practitioners in planning for the future.

We invite you to read the review paper "Perspective on Regional Sea-level Change and Coastal Impacts” based on the Grand Challenge on Regional Sea Level Change and Coastal Impacts.
