Sea level rise in New Zealand

Sea level rise in New Zealand, like in many parts of the world, is a significant concern driven primarily by climate change and the associated melting of ice sheets and glaciers, as well as thermal expansion of seawater as it warms. In New Zealand, projections indicate that sea levels could rise by approximately 0.3 to 1.0 meters by the end of the century, depending on the level of global greenhouse gas emissions.
