About this document
Faster Sea Level Rise in the Philippines by Cassiel Iris Caceres is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study on sea level rise in the Philippines. It reports that a climatologist found that sea levels are rising faster in the Visayas region of the Philippines than the global average, at a rate of 4 times the global average of 3.7 millimeters per year. This has implications for more frequent and intense tropical cyclones and flooding in coastal areas. Some low-lying islands are at risk of being submerged if sea level rise is not slowed down.
