[Vision2020] Non-Working Web Link: Population, Area and Economy Affected By a 1 m. Sea Level Rise

[Ted Moffett]

The link to this information I previously posted did not work.  Here is part
of the web page in question pasted in:

 Population, area and economy affected by a 1 m sea level rise (global and
regional estimates, based on today's situation) [image: Population, area and
economy affected by a 1 m sea level rise (global and regional estimates,

*Population, area and economy affected by a 1 m sea level rise (global and
regional estimates, based on today's situation)*. Even for today's
socio-economic conditions, both regionally and globally, large numbers of
people and significant economic activity are exposed to sea-level rise. The
densely populated megadeltas are especially vulnerable to sea-level rise.
More than 1 million people living in the Ganges- Brahmaputra, Mekong and
Nile deltas will be directly affected simply if current rates of sea-level
rise continue to 2050 and there is no adaptation. More than 50 000 people
are likely to be directly impacted in each of a further nine deltas, and
more than 5000 in each of a further 12 deltas. Some 75 per cent of the
population affected live on the Asian megadeltas and deltas, with a large
proportion of the remainder living on deltas in Africa. These impacts would
increase dramatically with accelerated sea-level rise. The economy part of
this graphic represents the annual share of economy in this zone, in GDP
(market exchange rates).
