Alexandria's Sinking Crisis: Climate Change and Building Collapses
Alexandria, Egypt, is sinking due to climate change and tectonic activity, causing coastal erosion and building collapses; over 280 buildings collapsed from 2001-2021, and 43 more from 2023-2025, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation.

Unmanageable Sea Level Rise Projected at 1.5C Warming
A new study warns that unmanageable sea level rise, driven by quadrupled ice sheet melt since the 1990s, will occur at just 1.5C global heating, causing catastrophic inland migration even if current warming levels persist; exceeding 2.5C would trigger a 12-meter rise.

Glaciers Won't Recover for Centuries Even With Temporary 1.5°C Exceedance
A new study reveals that mountain glaciers will not recover for centuries if global warming temporarily exceeds 1.5°C, even if temperatures later return to safer levels, with significant implications for sea-level rise and downstream communities.

UK Seaside Town at Risk of Vanishing Due to Coastal Erosion
The UK seaside town of Happisburgh, Norfolk, is facing severe coastal erosion, losing over 250 meters of coastline since the 1990s, with predictions it could vanish by 2050 due to climate change and the composition of the cliffs.

Accelerating Sea Level Rise Poses Catastrophic Threat
Global sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, primarily due to human-caused global warming, resulting in a 4-inch increase since 1993 and projected increases of 6 inches globally and up to 12 inches in the US by 2050, with potentially catastrophic consequences in the future.

Thwaites Glacier Collapse: Global Sea-Level Rise and Urgent Adaptation Needs
The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is rapidly melting, contributing 4% to current sea-level rise and potentially causing over two feet of additional rise if it collapses completely, displacing millions and impacting coastal regions worldwide.

1°C Warming Limit Urged to Avert Catastrophic Sea Level Rise
New research warns that limiting global warming to 1.5°C, as stipulated by the Paris Agreement, is insufficient to prevent catastrophic sea-level rise; scientists now urge a 1°C limit to avoid irreversible ice sheet melt and devastating consequences for coastal populations.

1.5C Warming Target Will Not Stop Devastating Sea Level Rise
Scientists warn that even limiting global warming to 1.5C will still cause several meters of sea-level rise over centuries due to continued melting of Greenland and Antarctica, threatening coastal communities and necessitating adaptation strategies. Current trajectories show a far worse outcome.

Irreversible Glacier Loss Projected Even with Reduced Warming
A new study in Nature Climate Change reveals that even a temporary exceedance of the 1.5°C global warming limit will cause irreversible damage to mountain glaciers for centuries, with smaller glaciers potentially not recovering before 2500, impacting downstream water resources and sea levels.

Accelerating Sea Level Rise Poses Grave Threat to Coastal Communities
Global sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate due to human-caused global warming, with a projected 6-inch rise by 2050 and potential for much more significant increases by 2100, posing significant threats to coastal communities worldwide.

Arctic Glacier Melt Exposes 2,466 Kilometers of New Coastline
A new study reveals that melting glaciers exposed 2,466 kilometers of new coastline and 35 islands in the Arctic between 2000 and 2020, primarily in Greenland, due to rising ocean and air temperatures, increasing risks of landslides and tsunamis.
