NASA’s latest observations highlight an alarming acceleration in the rise in ocean levels. Between 2022 and 2023, the average ocean level rose by 0.76 cm, four times faster than the 0.21 cm rise between 2021 and 2022. This spectacular leap raises serious concerns about the consequences for our coasts and communities.

This dramatic rise is attributable not only to global warming, but also to the El Niño phenomenon.

The figures are alarming: since 1993, global ocean levels have risen by 9.4 centimetres, with a remarkable acceleration in recent years. If this trend continues, we could see a further rise of 20 centimetres by 2050, threatening our coasts and exacerbating the risks of flooding and submersion.

What’s more, recent research has revealed that sea level rise abruptly exceeded the threshold of natural variability as early as 1863, coinciding with the start of the Industrial Revolution. This acceleration, unprecedented for millennia, is directly linked to human activity and ocean warming.

Faced with this imminent crisis, it is imperative to act now: let’s limit our greenhouse gas emissions.
