By 2100, conservative estimates place global average sea level rise at approximately 1m (3 feet), with a more significant rise of 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) possible.

The IPCC reported that the global average sea level rose by some 19 21 cm (7.5 8.3 inches) between 1901 and 2010 and that sea levels rose faster in the second half of the 20th century than in the first half.
