Briefings

A 2026 study estimates global ecosystem services valued at over 100 billion international dollars annually by 2100 due to sea level rise. The research indicates that nations most vulnerable to these losses are not necessarily the largest carbon emitters, challenging existing mitigation priorities.

Key points

• A 2026 study estimates global ecosystem services valued at over 100 billion international dollars annually by 2100 due to sea level rise.
• The research indicates that nations most vulnerable to these losses are not necessarily the largest carbon emitters.

Context

This analysis provides a global accounting of potential economic losses from rising seas, offering a new perspective on climate adaptation costs beyond traditional emission metrics.

Limitations

The evidence is a single study from 2026 with no further supporting data or validation provided. The specific geographic scope of the valuation is not detailed, and the study does not specify which nations are most at risk.
