Rising sea levels due to climate change are being addressed through both international cooperation and individual actions. Global agreements like the 2015 Paris Agreement aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to slow the rate of sea level rise. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides vital research and recommendations to guide countries in their efforts to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. Additionally, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) focuses on lowering emissions within the shipping industry, contributing to global climate protection efforts.
Alongside these international initiatives, individual actions are essential. Personal efforts such as reducing one’s carbon footprint, switching to renewable energy, and adopting eco-friendly consumption habits can help reduce environmental strain. When combined, these efforts not only help protect vulnerable coastal areas but also support a more sustainable future.
