As global temperatures are likely to exceed the Paris Agreement target of 1.5°C, sea levels are expected to continue rising for a long time. In the past, similar warmth led to major ice-sheet loss, so low-lying coastal areas are now facing much higher sea-level risks than current planning usually assumes. Louisiana’s coastlines are retreating rapidly...
