Small Island Developing States under threat by rising seas even in a 1.5 °C warming world

M. I. Vousdoukas, P. Athanasiou, et al.

This groundbreaking research conducted by Michalis I. Vousdoukas and colleagues reveals that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) could see coastal flooding damages escalate more than 14 times by 2100 under high-emission scenarios. While limiting warming to 1.5 °C could help, many SIDS still face significant economic challenges and potential forced migration. The study underscores the urgency for investments in adaptation and sustainable development.
