Are these the cities of the future?
Sea levels are rising around the world as a result of the climate crisis. Even if we manage to keep global warming below 1.5°C (2.7°F), as set out in the Paris Agreement, they are set to rise by at least 10 feet (3m), according to research by non-profit Climate Central. But if the planet's temperature increases by 3°C (5.4°F), which it’s projected to do by 2100 if drastic steps aren’t undertaken, sea levels could rise by 30 feet (9m). Using photorealistic images, Climate Central has illustrated what some of the world’s at risk cities could look like in this scenario.
