During the most recent period analyzed, 2006-2018, it’s been rising at a rate of 3.7 We would see massive coastal erosion happening all around. Since 1901 sea level has risen by 20 cm, a rise unprecedented in at least 3,000 years (disclosure: I co-authored some of the research behind the latter conclusion). Source: IPCC AR6 Fig.

The global mean sea level has increased by 20 cm from 1901 to 2018, and the rate of increase has accelerated and is now about 3.7 A thermal expansion explained 50% of sea level rise during 1971–2018, while ice loss from glaciers contributed 22%, ice sheets 20% and changes in land water storage 8%. mm increase every year.

SIDS face a range of risks, including extreme floods, storms, droughts, unpredictability of precipitation patterns and sea-level rise, ocean acidification and deoxygenation (World Health Organization, 2018; Douglas & Cooper, 2020, Thomas, 2020).
