My top 3 impressions up-front: The sea level projections for the year 2100 have been adjusted upwards again. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100. And here is the key sea-level graphic from the Summary for Policy Makers: Source: IPCC AR6, Figure SPM.8.

Flooding, coastal erosion, wildfires, thawing permafrost, and extreme weather events are causing unprecedented loss and damage of places and customs. Sea level rise, coastal flooding and erosion due to more extreme storms have drastically affected traditional food gardens and plantations, and damaged coconut groves.

The case of Tangier is a prime example of the consequences of continued sea level rise and human displacement due to the climate crisis. Continued sea level rise is one of the most serious consequences of the climate crisis, according to the latest IPCC Assessment Report.

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.

Some of those predicted changes are already happening such as continued sea level rise which is now irreversible over a time span of hundreds to thousands of years. And by the end of this century, extreme sea-level events which previously occurred every 100 years could happen every year.

In many places, sand is being used faster than it can be replenished, and is often extracted causing severe damage to biodiversity, fishing grounds, coastal and beach stability, and an erosion of beaches and riverbeds.
