How will rising seas affect your city?
Climate Central's Risk Zone map shows possible coastal flooding throughout the world.
Seas are rising, and cities throughout the world are responding to it differently.
Scientists predict oceans will continue to rise significantly this century and beyond, and non-profit Climate Central has developed a tool to peek into the future of coastal flooding.
The map below allows you to zoom into any city in the world. The bar on the bottom left allows you to increase and decrease water level, then showing how much of a given city will be underwater should seas rise to that point.
