Rising seas: more information

Egypt
If sea levels rose by a metre, 15% of Egypt’s farmland would disappear.

The Maldives
These islands only lie barely two metres above sea level. Life for over 300,000 people is threatened even with a small rise in sea level.

New York
New York City is home to nearly 20 million people and a large amount of global business takes place here. But the city’s shoreline will change if sea levels rise.

London
The Thames Flood Barrier protects London from floods. But sea level rises could push more water up the river Thames, putting landmarks like Tower Bridge or the Houses of Parliament at risk.

Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s coast is very low-lying. Even a small rise in sea level could be disastrous for Bangladesh, one of the most densely populated countries in the world. A metre rise in sea level would destroy half the country’s rice fields, and force millions of people to move elsewhere.

Senegal
Dakar, the capital city of Senegal, lies on the coast. Today, 2 million people live here, and most of Senegal’s factories are based here too. Rising sea levels could eat away the land, threatening life in the city.

China
In the world’s most populated country, a rise in sea levels of one metre could ruin the lives of 70 million people, and put a third of the city, Shanghai underwater.

Tuvalu
This tiny country in the South Pacific may be the first to go under if sea levels rise. Already, the 11,000 people that live there are hoping to evacuate to New Zealand.
