The polar ice caps and the Greenland ice sheet are melting six times faster than they were in the 1990s. The high melt rate corresponds to the “worst case scenario” model for global warming set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and means that without sweeping curbs on greenhouse gas emissions, the planet will see a 17-centimetre rise in sea level in just 80 years, putting about 400 million people at risk of annual coastal flooding.

The global sea-level rise started around the beginning of the 20th century. From 1900 to 2016, the average sea level on the planet rose by 16–21 centimeters or 6.3–8.3 inches. According to the extreme scenario, an increase in sea level can be presumed as 189 centimeters (6.2 feet) by 2100.
