Around eight million properties in England - or one in four - could be at risk of flooding by 2050 as the danger increases due to climate change, the Environment Agency (EA) has said. In its first ...
In just 30 years, cities around the world will face dramatically higher risks from extreme heat, coastal flooding, blackouts and food and water shortages. Cities face dramatic rise in heat, flood ...
Drivers, processes, and impacts of sinking cities [1]. Sinking cities are urban environments that are in danger of disappearing due to their rapidly changing landscapes.The largest contributors to these cities becoming unlivable are the combined effects of climate change (manifested through sea level rise, intensifying storms, and storm surge), land subsidence, and accelerated urbanization.

By 2050, Guangzhou would see 0.2 meters of sea level rise and estimated annual economic losses of US$254 million – the highest in the world. [14] In Shanghai , coastal inundation amounts to about 0.03% of local GDP , yet would increase to 0.8% by 2100 even under the "moderate" RCP4.5 scenario in the absence of adaptation. [ 14 ]

[2] For coastal or lake flooding, a 100-year flood is generally expressed as a flood elevation or depth, and may include wave effects. For river systems ...
Some areas are at risk even if climate pledges are met and temperature rise kept to 1.8C
From 2000 to 2050 the potential coastal flood extent is estimated to increase by 110.5 km 2 due to both land subsidence and sea level rise; [5] it is estimated that the city will be entirely submerged by 2050. [6]
