Graphs and Impacts 6

• What does the “Land at risk” (dark blue) area in sea level rise (SLR) maps represent?
• What does the “Land saved by actions” (green) area in sea level rise (SLR) maps represent?
• Why do the sea level rise (SLR) maps show so much “Land at risk” (blue) in 2030?
• I think the 2030 sea level rise (SLR) maps for my region are unreliable. Does this mean the longer-term maps are wrong?
• What does the Long-term Equilibrium sea level rise (SLR) map mean?
