NASA’s Sea Level Change Team has created asea level projection toolbased on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report that visualizes the impacts of future sea level rise on coastlines and communities.

More than 600 million people (around 10 percent of the world’s population) live in coastal areas that are less than 10 meters (32 feet) above sea level.

Global mean sea levels rose by about 20 centimeters (almost 1 foot) between 1901 and 2018, faster than any time in the last 3,000 years.https://embedly.forbes.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fm5PPURqEONI&display_name=YouTube&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dm5PPURqEONI&image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fm5PPURqEONI%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=3ce26dc7e3454db5820ba084d28b4935&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube
