Threats to Cultural Heritage Caused by the Global Sea Level Rise as a Result of the Global Warming

Even modest rises in global sea level due to climate change could permanently endanger cultural heritage sites, including those in Gdynia's Modernist City Centre. A study assessed threats using elevation data and ArcGIS Pro 2.7 under three sea-level rise scenarios, revealing potential irreparable damage to historic monuments. The research highlights the dual risks of economic and cultural loss if climate action is delayed.
