Sea Level Rise and Small Island Nations Our Rising Blue Waters: Governments Combating Climate Change
Brief
With the last seven years being the warmest on record, coupled with the rapid increase of extreme weather events, the impact of climate change is more visible than ever before. The world’s landmasses are projected to sink in a matter of decades, posing an existential threat to the world’s lowest-lying countries today. Island states are on the frontlines of climate change, where the effects of rising temperatures and sea levels demand innovative climate action.
