My top 3 impressions up-front: The sea level projections for the year 2100 have been adjusted upwards again. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100. And here is the key sea-level graphic from the Summary for Policy Makers: Source: IPCC AR6, Figure SPM.8.

The global mean sea level has increased by 20 cm from 1901 to 2018, and the rate of increase has accelerated and is now about 3.7 A thermal expansion explained 50% of sea level rise during 1971–2018, while ice loss from glaciers contributed 22%, ice sheets 20% and changes in land water storage 8%.

SIDS face a range of risks, including extreme floods, storms, droughts, unpredictability of precipitation patterns and sea-level rise, ocean acidification and deoxygenation (World Health Organization, 2018; Douglas & Cooper, 2020, Thomas, 2020).
