According to a new scientific study by a team from the United Kingdom and Finland, along with previous findings by German researcher Stefan Rahmstorf, the average global sea level is forecast to rise between 0.8 meters and 1.5 meters by the end of the century. This is higher than predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in a report published last year. Rising sea levels will have significant effects for countries like Bangladesh, in which 80%-90% of land is within one meter of the sea.

A big thank you, esteemed scientists, for this invaluable data. We pray for action by all countries to immediately reverse climate change and restore the ecological balance of our biosphere.
