Mediterranean Tsunami Risk to Increase 10-30% in 50 Years Due to Climate Change
A 10-30% increase in Mediterranean tsunami probability is projected over the next 50 years due to climate change-induced sea level rise (currently 4 mm/year) and coastal geological movements, increasing the risk for over 150 million people in coastal areas.
