Coasts

Is it true that the coastal areas of islands will flood and disappear if climate change is not reversed?

Yes, it is true. Climate change poses a significant threat to coastal areas, particularly those of small islands1. Here are some key points:

These impacts will lead to the degradation of coastal ecosystems, loss of livelihoods, and essential community services2. If climate change continues at its current pace, low-lying coastal areas and islands could indeed flood and disappear. It’s a stark reminder of the urgent need for climate action. However, it’s important to note that the exact timeline and extent of these changes are still subjects of ongoing scientific research.
