Which cities get hit hardest by rising sea levels?

Things don’t look good for India. But the United States doesn’t get off easy, either. If you look at exposed assets rather than total population, then Miami, New York-Newark, New Orleans and Virginia Beach all climb higher on the list, with $7 trillion in assets vulnerable to severe coastal flooding by 2070.

Now, the OECD report notes that global warming isn’t entirely to blame for the expected uptick in exposed population, though it plays a big role. A lot of cities are also putting themselves at greater risk because they’re growing rapidly and not taking enough measures to shore up their flood defenses. And it’s not just poorer cities like Dhaka and Ho Chi Minh City that are struggling to adapt. Many rich cities are doing a shoddy job as well.
