Notes

Scope and Content:

As governments, businesses, and homeowners plan for the future, they should assume that the world’s oceans will rise by at least two metres - roughly seven feet - this century. But far too few agencies or individuals are preparing for the inevitable increase in sea level that will take place as polar ice sheets melt.
