Not to be confused with floods. Marine submersion is seawater or ocean water rising. This rise can be exceptional because of extreme weather events, or permanent because of rising water levels.
3Causes
3Consequences
Les catastrophes climatiques peuvent exacerber les inégalités préexistantes en accentuant les disparités économiques, sociales et environnementales entre les différentes populations. Les politiques de gestion des risques, d'adaptation et d'atténuation doivent tenir compte de ces inégalités pour promouvoir une résilience plus équitable.

1Other possible consequence
If seawater rises, it can penetrate the water tables, which are freshwater reserves.
1Wrong cause
Do not make any confusion between floods and submersions. Floods concern rivers (it's fresh water) while submersions concern sea water (salt water).
