Coastlines in danger even if climate target met, scientists warn

Scientists warn that even if we meet the 1.5C global warming target, coastlines are at risk of significant sea-level rise over centuries. Despite countries' efforts, limiting warming to 1.5C may not be "safe" for coastal populations due to continued melting of ice sheets. A new study underscores the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and highlights the potential devastating impacts of sea-level rise on coastal communities around the world.
