Sea levels are going to rise, no matter what. Each part of the world is simulated separately, by different groups of people, using different climate models to provide the warming levels. Each one is a data point about its contribution to future sea level rise. For the upper end, there is a 95% chance the level would be less than 28cm if we limit warming to 1.5C, compared with 40cm under current pledges. But at the same time, we must acknowledge inevitable certainty: sea levels are going to go up.
