IPCC drastically increases its forecasts for world’s rise in sea levels

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented its special report on the oceans and ice caps today (24 September). Although climate scientists have, once again, drastically increased their sea-level rise forecasts to one metre by 2100, there is still time for action. EURACTIV Germany reports.

"We are in between two temporal races: between the speed of climate change and the ability of humans to counteract it. We might lose the race," said IPCC Chairman Hoesung Lee, when presenting the report today (25 September). [Brett Allen/ Shutterstock]
