Nature:
New elevation data triple estimates of global vulnerability to SLR and coastal flooding


...

 

 

Under high carbon emissions, CoastalDEM indicates up to 630 M people live on land below projected annual flood levels for 2100, and up to 340 M for mid-century, versus roughly 250 M at present. We estimate one billion people now occupy land less than 10 m above current high tide lines, including 250 M below 1 m.
