Cause and mitigation of sea level rise ?

Sea level rise is primarily caused by the melting of glaciers and ice caps, thermal expansion of seawater due to global warming, and the loss of ice from Greenland and Antarctica. These factors are all linked to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to climate change.

Mitigation of sea level rise involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow down global warming and limit the melting of ice caps and glaciers. This can be achieved through transitioning to renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions from transportation and industry, and implementing policies to protect and restore coastal ecosystems that can help absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

In addition, adaptation measures such as building seawalls, restoring wetlands, and implementing sustainable coastal development practices can help communities prepare for and respond to rising sea levels. International cooperation and coordination are also essential to address the global nature of sea level rise and its impacts on vulnerable populations and ecosystems.
