The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) revealed in the report “Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis” that by the year 2030, it is projected that The global average temperature could exceed pre-industrial levels by 1.5ºC or 1.6ºC. This would cause sea level rise and, consequently, flooding.
