The quantification of adaptation needs to sea-level hazards at global-to-regional scales is a major research challenge. Our global-scale analysis 1 contributes to understanding the drivers of interannual-to-multidecadal coastal water level changes by reporting that at first order, wave contributions are sizeable. Typically these contributions have not been accounted for, and thus we advocate for their inclusion to provide more accurate assessments 2 of the vulnerability of the coasts. We clarify below three main points regarding our analysis and its implications.
