Sea levels are projected to rise in Canada under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP). Following the SSP1-2.6 emission scenario, it is projected that Canada's sea levels will rise 4.98 centimeters (cm) in the next decades, and reach 9.77 cm by the mid-century, relative to the historic baseline. The sea level will continue rising to reach 15.13 cm by the end of the century, following the same scenario.

Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP):
SSP1-1.9: very low GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions cut to net zero around 2050. SSP1-2.6: low GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions cut to net zero around 2075. SSP2-4.5: intermediate GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions around current levels until 2050, then falling but not reaching net zero by 2100: SSP3-7.0: high GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions double by 2100. SSP5-8.5: very high GHG emissions - CO₂ emissions triple by 2075.
