Sea Level rise
What will happen when the 'Doomsday Glacier' disintegrates?
As climate change drives global temperatures ever higher, glaciers and ice sheets will inevitably melt.
Sea-level rise in Bangladesh: Faster than global average
Bangladesh is experiencing a faster sea-level rise than the global average of 3.42mm a year, which will impact food production and livelihoods even more than previously thought, government studies have found.
Rising Sea Levels: 9 lakh in south may be displaced by 2050
Sea level rise may displace almost nine lakh people from southern Bangladesh by 2050, because their homes and livelihood will be jeopardised.
Rising sea levels and the lessons to learn
A thorough and strategic approach is required to defend against the recurrent floods and climatic disasters Bangladesh faces.
We are approaching a tectonic moment for our planet
Did we really “rise to the climate challenge?”
Devastating climate impacts await coastal Bangladesh
The World Bank recently published a thorough analysis of various adverse impacts of human-induced climate change that are going to hit the coastal districts of Bangladesh.
Climate loss and damage are clearly visible in southwest Bangladesh
People living in climate-vulnerable areas urgently need government support
Sea level rise is accelerating: Study
Sea level rise is accelerating and could reach 26 inches (66 centimeters) by century's end, in line with United Nations estimates and enough to cause significant problems for coastal cities, a study says.
Sea levels rising at fastest pace in 2,800 years: study
The world's oceans are rising at a faster rate than any time in the past 2,800 years, and might even have fallen without the influence of human-driven climate change, researchers say.

'Dramatic retreat' seen in Greenland glacier
A major glacier in northeastern Greenland is rapidly crumbling into the Atlantic Ocean and experts warned on Thursday the breakup will likely raise global sea level by 18 inches (a half meter).
