Just to add some more detail, we estimate a maximum 2 m sea level rise by 2100 due to contributions from all glacier sources, including the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Antarctic Ice Sheet, but more likely closer to 0.8 m [1]. That is still a large amount given ~400 million people live below 2 m [2], and most of those in developing parts of the world.
