Fighting Global Sea Level Rise in Greenland:In Search of Sustainable Co-design with Locals

Key Points

• The melting of the Greenland ice sheet may significantly raise global sea levels this century.
• Exact projections indicate increases of several centimeters due to combined effects of surface melting and iceberg calving.
• Analysis of ice dynamics in Greenland highlights the need for sustainable local co-design approaches.
• Impacts are urgent, calling for localized strategies to manage and mitigate effects from rising sea levels.
