Sea-level rise and variability: a summary for policy makers
This publication aims at providing an improved understanding of sea-level rise and variability to reduce the uncertainties associated with projections for sea-level rise, and hence contribute to more effective coastal planning and management. It presents a synthesis of the findings and recommendations from the discussion of position papers from a workshop on sea-level rise and variability held under the auspices of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) at the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris in 2006.
