美国航天局预测,到2050年,低洼太平洋岛屿的海平面将出现15厘米的不可逆上升,从而增加了洪水风险。 NASA predicts 15 cm of irreversible sea-level rise for low-lying Pacific Islands by 2050, increasing flood risk.

美国航天局的报告指出,低地太平洋岛屿,包括图瓦卢、基里巴斯和斐济,在今后30年中将面临至少15厘米的不可逆海平面升高,无论排放变化如何。 NASA's report indicates that low-lying Pacific Islands, including Tuvalu, Kiribati, and Fiji, will face at least 15 cm of irreversible sea-level rise in the next 30 years, regardless of emissions changes. 这一上升将导致洪涝增加,预计到2050年代,高潮洪涝日数将大幅增加。 This rise will lead to increased flooding, with the number of high-tide flooding days expected to rise significantly by the 2050s. 该机构绘制了洪涝图,以协助这些国家规划减灾努力和改进预警系统。 The agency has developed flood maps to assist these nations in planning mitigation efforts and improving early warning systems.
