How will a future rise of 50 cm (see 5. above) affect my coastline?
This is a complicated question which depends on where you live, the tides and storms in your area, and the type of coastal infrastructure. For the best scientific reviews of the subject, consult the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II reports listed in the PSMSL training web pages. Articles on climate changes (including sea level changes) and their impacts on the developing countries can be found in The TIEMPO Climate Cyberlibrary.
