We are excited to announce the official launch of the Knowledge Hub’s First Assessment Report on Sea Level Rise in Europe. This comprehensive report is the result of extensive collaboration among different stakeholders, cumulative work of over 70 leading climate and marine experts, and a vigorous two-year scoping and writing process.
The launch of the assessment report will take place in the form of a webinar, and will feature:Â
- Insights into the state of sea level rise in Europe through discussions on all report chapters, including sea level rise observations and projections, impacts, adaptation measures, and governance challenges
- Q&A with the report’s lead authors
This is a virtual event, and participation is free of charge. We hope you will join us to celebrate this significant milestone and unite in addressing the challenges posed by rising sea levels across Europe!
