More familiar to us is a situation in which a population has a territory yet fighting for sovereignty, but we are less used to a situation in which a population has sovereignty on vanishing land due to the rising sea level, although, that will be the new fight in the coming future.

The Maldives is already fighting with the rising of the sea level, which anticipated may lead to the disappearance of most of the country by 2050, still, the current situation in Maldives likely signals how will be this fighting in many other places worldwide in the coming future. Hence, is it possible to stop the rising of the sea level? and if not, what are the solutions/alternatives for sovereign countries with a population yet with vanish land territory due to the rising sea level?

If we look at that from a historical geology perspective under Pangaea theory, then we are in continuing geology process that may escalate in times of warming cycles on Earth or under dramatic disaster natural events. Hence, in our time, the melting of the Arctic and Antarctica alongside the increase in earthquakes and even in volcano activity like the case of Tonga are supposed to lead to a significant change in the Earth’s surface in a way that some land territories will vanish when the sea level rises, while other land territories will become to non-ice lands like what is already happened in the Arctic and Antarctica. However, the big risk of this geology process is the landslides because the landslides could change the Earth's surface in many places on the globe including in the middle of cities while creating vital damage to infrastructure and buildings. We have no ability to stop a change in the Earth's surface but at least to prevent escalation in the global warming while the planning of the urbanization should take into account potential landslides and changes in the sea level.
