This statistic displays an estimation provided by Climate Central on the average global sea level rise based on warming temperatures as of 2015. Currently, warming of less than 2 degree Celsius has been agreed upon by many national governments as a goal. If the Earth was to increase its temperatures by 2 degree Celsius, sea levels are estimated to rise 4.7 meters.
