Leading climate experts from around the world will share the latest science behind sea level projections.
Leading climate experts from around the world will share the latest science behind sea level projections.
Sea-level rise is an existential threat to coastal residents around the world as it progressively raises water levels, promoting increased flooding, erosion, salinization and ecosystem loss and degradation. Small islands, deltas and coastal cities are particularly threatened. Future sea-level rise is deeply uncertain with the worst scenarios of rise linked to the great ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica and their response to global warming. Unmitigated climate change will lead to rapidly accelerating rise with a metre of rise by 2100 appearing likely and larger rises possible. Once initiated, sea levels would continue to rise for many centuries with catastrophic consequences. Hence, climate mitigation is critical. However, even the climate mitigation and temperature stabilisation targets agreed in the Paris Agreement will slow but not stop climate-induced sea-level rise due to the long timescales of ocean and ice sheet response to warming. Hence, sea-level rise is expected to continue slowly for centuries, even if the Paris Agreement is fully implemented.
Building on the success of the Sea Level 2017 Meeting in New York, the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) Grand Challenge on “Regional Sea-Level Change and Coastal Impacts” will hold the Sea Level 2022 meeting in Singapore. It will assess the current understanding of these challenges and what actions and approaches in both the science and adaptation practitioner domains are needed to meet them. The meeting comes three years after the publication of the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) and one year after the publication of the new IPCC WG1 AR6 report, providing a good moment for reflection. Sea Level 2022 will critically assess the different components of sea-level change to understand their likely magnitude under the range of possible emissions over the 21st Century and beyond. It will also consider the key uncertainties that need to be addressed in future research with a view towards AR7 and beyond. Given the critical need for coastal adaptation it will also consider how to effectively make this information available and most useful to the coastal policymakers and practitioners engaged in risk assessment and adaptation, drawing on contributions from practitioners engaged in adaptation planning today.
The conference is held in a region where sea-level rise is an existential threat. Singapore is an island where one third is below 5 m above mean sea level today. More broadly, south, south-east and east Asia contain most of the world’s vulnerable coastal population and the needs for coastal adaptation are immense. Hence, information on future sea levels is critical for coastal development, adaptation and planning. Sea Level 2022 is a global conference engaged with the world community, but it recognises a particular need to benefit these vulnerable populations in Asia and other settings such as deltas and small islands.
Stakeholders will share the state of practice and identify paths forward to protect lives, property, and natural systems.
Stakeholders will share the state of practice and identify paths forward to protect lives, property, and natural systems.
Local, regional, and national governments around the globe are concerned about sea-level rise (SLR) over the 21st century and will need to plan adaptation responses that suit local circumstances in terms of costs, uncertainties, and ensuring protection of vulnerable communities. In response, adaptation practitioners are tasked with understanding which scientific projections of future SLR to use in planning efforts. These projections each present their own challenges and layers of uncertainty. In addressing this challenge practitioners must contend with significant and unprecedented economic and social challenges posed by inevitably rising seas and think about this changing dynamic in the context of short-term challenges, including the impacts of extreme events, erosion, and non-climate phenomena such as subsidence, and groundwater withdrawal.
There is growing interest from coastal practitioners around the world in engaging with sea-level scientists to discuss and understand what the science can provide and share what risk and adaptation assessment require to make progress. This interest is fragmented, however, and lacks mechanisms to facilitate the engagement. Sea Level 2017 in New York strongly focussed on the application of sea-level rise to understand risk and adaptation needs. Sea Level 2022 goes further and seeks to actively engage with the sea-level practitioner community around the world to promote dialogue on sea-level science, promote co-production of future sea-level science, and to place science products in an appropriate context. This includes considering current activities at a local and regional level to evaluate vulnerability and design adaptation measures to create resilience in the face of climate change.
This conference practitioner contribution builds on an a virtual three-day global workshop series held in February 2022 with approximately 75 attendees from 29 counties. This event was held twice to allow truly global attendance. It was designed to build connections and learning among practitioners using SLR projections in adaptation planning in a variety of contexts (e.g., open coasts, small islands, deltas, natural infrastructure, urban vs. rural, etc.). It shared examples of early action to implement adaptation to rising seas and developed an understanding of common challenges.
Participants brought practical perspectives from around the world. Key themes for presentations and discussions were identified with a preparatory survey and included:
The results and recommendations of the workshop feed into Sea Level 2022. As well as sharing knowledge and perspectives we will gauge interest in the establishment of collaborative networks both within the practitioner community and between practitioners and researchers that can provide sustained peer support and learning and collaboration so that practitioners are better able to prepare shorelines and communities for rising seas.

Kranji Coastal Nature Park leverages on nature – based solutions in its coastal protection measures. The rock revetment is implemented between the original mangroves and a new vegetation belt to slow down waves, encourage sediment accretion and natural recruitment of mangrove saplings. This provides additional habitats for biodiversity and acts as a buffer area against rising sea levels and storm surges. The nature park is also an educational and recreational space for visitors to learn more about wetland flora and fauna as well as to immerse themselves in nature. Participants can glean insights on key lessons learnt from this site and the efficacy of such an approach.
