  abstract = {{T}his chapter presents changes in relative sea level ({RSL}) along tropical coastlines (30°{N}-30°{S}). {U}nder current and future global changes, 90% of the coastlines are at risk, facing challenges of rising sea level ({SL}). {S}ince the last century, scientists have attempted to understand processes governing {RSL}, to separate variations in absolute {SL} from those due to vertical land movement, and to discover their links to climate change. {R}ecently developed space technologies provide accurate estimates of ongoing {SL} changes. {C}ombined with tide gauge records, these new instruments (global positioning system, altimetry, interferometric synthetic aperture radar) offer a new perspective for the science associated with {SL} and its changes. {T}his chapter reviews the concept of {RSL}, of {RSL} hotspots, and describes different {RSL} measurements. {T}hen, it identifies and maps the hotspots of {RSL} changes and updates, where possible, previously published estimates of {RSL} trends. {I}dentification of the {RSL} hotspots is of paramount importance for climate change mitigation and adaptation in tropical regions.},
