{{Main|Climate change in the Marshall Islands}}
Climate change is a threat to the Marshall Islands, with typhoons becoming stronger and sea levels rising. The sea around the Pacific islands has risen {{convert|3.4|mm|in|order=flip}} a year since 1993, which is more than twice the worldwide average rate. In [[Kwajalein Atoll|Kwajalein]], there is a high risk of permanent flooding; when [[sea level rise]]s by {{convert|1|m|ft|order=flip}}, 37% of buildings will be permanently flooded. In [[Ebeye Island|Ebeye]], the risk from sea level rise is even higher, with 50% of buildings being permanently flooded in the same scenario. With {{convert|1|m|ft|order=flip}} of sea level rise, parts of the [[Majuro|Majuro atoll]] will be permanently flooded and other parts will have a high risk of flooding especially the eastern part of the atoll would be significantly at risk. With {{convert|2|m|ft|order=flip}} sea level rise all the buildings of Majuro will be permanently flooded or will be at a high risk of being flooded.<ref>{{cite web |date=2021-10-22 |title=Adapting to rising sea levels in Marshall Islands |url=https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8c715dcc5781421ebff46f35ef34a04d |access-date=2021-11-14 |website=ArcGIS StoryMaps |language=en-us |archive-date=2021-11-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211114023449/https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8c715dcc5781421ebff46f35ef34a04d |url-status=live}}</ref>
