These Places Are Most Vulnerable To Climate Change

Key Biscayne, Florida, USA: Florida's southernmost barrier island, Key Biscayne is one of the places threatened by climate change. Its low elevation and direct exposure to the Atlantic Ocean, will eventually led this area to be evacuated by the climate change. The National Climate Assessment projects a rise of 4.1-6.6 feet in sea levels (1-2m) by 2100, reaching 2 feet by 2050 and 3 feet by 2075. This kind of sea-level rise would render this island uninhabitable and stretches of prime tourist beaches will be swept away totally after a period of some year.

Colombo, Sri Lanka: The capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo is the largest city and main port of Sri Lanka. It is also the commercial and financial center of Sri Lanka.

A bustling metropolis, the city is an attractive blend of old and new. It has the lazy charm of the bygone era combined with the verve and vivaciousness of a modern city. However, this city is at the helm of increasing climatic change. As climate change occurs, this city will undergo widespread effects of climate change including, climate variability and sea-level rise, directly affecting the overall abundance and security of endemic species.
