Researchers from the University of Durham assert that to prevent severe sea level rise, global warming must be limited to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, significantly stricter than the current Paris Agreement goal of 1.5°C. They emphasize that even achieving the Paris Agreement target may still result in dangerous sea level increases. Professor Chris Stokes warns that current acceleration in sea level rise could reach 10 mm per year later this century, posing dire consequences for future generations, as the impacts of climate change will persist despite global efforts to mitigate warming.
Researchers from the University of Durham warn that global warming must be limited to just 1°C above pre-industrial levels to prevent catastrophic sea level rise.
Lead author Professor Chris Stokes indicated that even limiting warming to 1.5°C may still lead to ongoing sea level rise, impacting future generations severely.
