In the past three decades, global mean sea level grew at an average of 3.1 millimeters per year. In January 2023, mean sea level was 98 millimeters higher when compared to the same month in 1993. Global sea level rise derives from two main factors - water expansion due to rising temperatures, and an increase in volume from melting ice caps and glaciers.
