Article Synopsis
- IPCC models predict that sea levels will rise between 0.6 to 1.2 meters by 2100, leading to increased flooding in coastal areas and negatively impacting ecosystems, especially along Denmark's highly modified coastline.
- A study reveals that by 2120, about 14% of coastal habitats will face permanent flooding, while urban areas will experience much less, but significant agricultural land (~191,000 ha) will be frequently flooded due to storm surges.
- The findings emphasize the need for climate adaptation plans to incorporate dynamic coastal habitat management, as nearly 45% of Danish coastal wetlands could be permanently submerged, threatening biodiversity and ecological balance.
