Measuring and presenting the impact of rising global temperature and sea level rise was the subject of a survey conducted by Climate Central, a US-based non-profit organization, in partnership with Princeton University and the Potsdam Institute for the Study of Climate Impact in Germany. .
Work published in the journal Environmental Research Letters identified regions of the world that could be subject to “unprecedented” flooding if policies to combat climate change are not now put in place by countries.
Below, see examples of Climate Central’s forecasts for some Brazilian cities:

According to researchers, the worst increase in temperature (up to 4 degrees Celsius) can cause the sea to invade the territories occupied by up to 15% of the current world population, which is equivalent to about one billion people.
On the other hand, achieving the more ambitious targets of the Paris Climate Agreement is likely to halve exposure, the scientists say.
