Global vulnerability to a 2-meter sea-level rise is shown with areas highlighted in blue and indicates regions at risk.

Areas vulnerable to a 2-meter rise in sea level

Sea-Level Rise Vulnerability (2 m)

Coastal regions across continents are marked, indicating potential flooding hazards. In North America, significant vulnerable areas include the eastern seaboard, the Gulf Coast, and parts of Alaska and Canada. Central America shows risk in Mexico and the Caribbean coastlines, while South America has vulnerable zones along the coasts of Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina. Europe displays extensive risk along the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and Mediterranean coasts, affecting countries like the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Turkey. In Africa, vulnerable areas are mainly along the Mediterranean, West African coasts, and parts of the eastern coast near Kenya and Tanzania. Asia has numerous at-risk regions, including the coasts of Japan, China, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Australia’s vulnerable areas are primarily along the northern and eastern coasts, and New Zealand shows risk around its coastlines. Island nations like the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and various Pacific islands are also prominently highlighted, indicating significant vulnerability to sea-level rise. This map underscores the global scale of potential impacts from rising sea levels, emphasizing the need for adaptive measures in coastal regions worldwide.
