According to a report by the Climate Central Project, 9 cities around the world could be flooded in the next few years due to climate change. It is reported that by 2050 and 2100, many cities in the world will be completely flooded due to climate change, but did you know that within 8-9 years Next there will be some cities in the world will be submerged due to sea level rise and floods.
Amsterdam (Netherlands):
Cities like Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, the Hoog and Rotterdam are located near the North Sea and at lower elevations, but given the rate at which sea level is rising, it doesn’t look like these beautiful cities in the country will survive.
Basra (Iraq):
The Iraqi city of Basra is located on the banks of a large river called the Shatt al-Arab that meets the Persian Gulf. There are also a lot of swamps around the city of Basra. In such a situation, the city is in danger if the sea level rises.

Venice, Italy):
Venice in Italy is built amidst the water and is flooded by tides every year. Venice is in two kinds of danger, first, sea level rise, and second, Venice itself is sinking, sinking 2 mm per year, if sea level rises quickly, the city will be inundated by 2030.
Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)
This city is located on a wetland called Thu Thiem and is no higher than sea level. The water level in the Mekong Delta continues to rise. Scientists fear that by 2030, Ho Chi Minh City will be submerged in water.
Kolkata (India):
Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, and the surrounding lands were considered very fertile for centuries. But if viewed from a climate-centric perspective, sea level rise could end the city’s existence. Like Ho Chi Minh City, Kolkata also faces the problem of monsoon rains and tides.
Floods occur here during the rainy season. Here rainwater does not enter the soil, in such a situation an area with a large delta located near it can become its period.
Bangkok (Thailand):
Bangkok, the capital of Thailand famous for tourism, is the most affected by global warming, the city of Bangkok is located at an altitude of only 1.5 meters above sea level, the city of Bangkok is built on sandy soil and sinks from 2 to 3 cm per year.
According to estimates, by 2030, its coastal areas of Tha Kham and Samut Prakan as well as the city’s international airport located in Suvarnabhumi may be completely submerged.
Georgetown (Guiana):
On one side of Georgetown, the capital of Jena, there is a sea stretch of about 400 kilometers, here generating very strong waves that reach into the city.
The height of its bank from the water level is only 0.5 meters to 1 meter, in such a situation, if the water level rises, this city will also sink into the water.
Savannah (USA):
The city of Savannah in Georgia, USA, is surrounded by the sea on all sides, because there is a very dense area around it. It may take up to 2050 for the city to be completely submerged, but by 2030 disasters may begin to occur here.
