The primary consequence of melting ice caps on sea levels is the rise in sea levels, which is driven by the influx of freshwater into the oceans. This phenomenon contributes to greater coastal flooding, erosion, and the loss of habitat for both terrestrial and aquatic species. As ice caps continue to melt due to climate change, low-lying regions globally face increased threat, prompting urgent discussions around adaptation strategies and mitigating measures that communities must take to safeguard themselves from future impacts.
