UK faces long-term coastal displacement risk under worst-case sea level rise scenarios

Scientific projections indicate that up to 13 million people in the UK could face coastal flooding risks by 2300, necessitating potential large-scale population relocation. The study highlights that even if current global carbon reduction pledges are met, sea level rise from melting ice caps will continue to increase exposure for millions, underscoring the long-term inadequacy of current mitigation efforts.
