from sea-level rise and saline intrusion in the Mekong Delta will also require the maintenance of sediment and salt-flushing river flows to downstream areas. • Dependence on more climate-resilient groundwater supplies will increase further in Southeast Asia as river flows become more variable.

Sea water intrusion with rising sea levels increase salination of agricultural land and groundwater degradation. Greater risk of coastal flooding, inundation and erosion to coastal areas as sea levels rise and intensity of coastal storms increases. INTRUSION SEA LEVEL RISE Marine life, fisheries

-threatening. Demographic trends in the region such as an aging population and urban migration, combined with many workers working in unregulated employment, will mean that the poorest and most vulnerable will be disproportionally affected by increased heat stress risk. As sea levels rise

She said: “Keeping global temperature rise as low as possible is vital to protect the UK’s coasts. Sea levels will continue to rise for centuries
Overturning Circulation and HILL-5b collapse of the sub-Polar Gyre) describe different levels of cooling. This scenario can be applied with any emissions scenario.
