These studies suggest that a 1-meter sea level rise could cause significant inundation, erosion, salinization, and economic losses, particularly affecting coastal areas, wetlands, small islands, and human populations.
The potential rise in sea levels due to climate change is a significant concern for coastal regions worldwide. A rise of 1 meter in sea level could have profound impacts on human populations, infrastructure, and natural ecosystems. This synthesis examines the potential consequences of a 1-meter sea level rise based on insights from multiple research papers.

A 1-meter rise in sea level would have widespread and severe impacts on coastal regions around the world. It would lead to the inundation of low-lying areas, displacement of millions of people, significant economic costs, and disruption of ecosystems. The effects would vary regionally, with some areas being more vulnerable than others. Adaptation measures and proactive planning are essential to mitigate these impacts and protect vulnerable communities and ecosystems.
