NEW YORK — Billions of people are at 'unthinkable' risk because of rising sea levels, according to the United Nations.
Teddy Grant, ABC NewsNEW YORK — Billions of people are at"unthinkable" risk because of rising sea levels, according to the United Nations.
"We would witness a mass exodus of entire populations on a biblical scale, and we would see ever-fiercer competition for fresh water, land and other resources," Guterres said. Since 1993, the rate at which sea levels have risen has doubled, according to the WMO's provisional State of the Global Climate in 2022 report. Since January 2020, it's increased by nearly 10 mm, hitting a record high last year, according to the report.
"Our world is hurtling past the 1.5-degree warming limit that a livable future requires, and with present policies, is careening towards 2.8 degrees -- a death sentence for vulnerable countries," Guterres said.
