Interactive map that will allow you to see the world’s livable cities by the year 2100 – Teach me about science

In recent years we have seen the first consequences of climate change and global warming, including melting glaciers, intense heat waves, droughts, floods, loss of biodiversity around the world and other factors that seriously affect the environment.

In this sense, several international organizations have worked to create interactive maps that allow you to see what the Earth will be like in 76 years, which you can obtain for free. Here we show you some of them, so pay attention.

What will the Earth be like in the year 2100?

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is expected that by 2100, sea levels will rise by about 2 meters, and although this amount does not seem so exaggerated, it will cause some cities to disappear and be submerged in water, as a consequence of climate change and global warming.

One of the interactive maps where we can see this rise in the sea of ​​2 meters or more is the ‘Flood Map’, which takes into account the different geographical features of all the continents and depending on the number of meters of sea level that are indicated, which can range from 0 to 60 meters, this gives us an idea of ​​what the world of the future will be like.

There is also an interactive map from the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which shows in blue the areas that will be submerged in the ocean in the year 2100, where we see that the most affected area will be in North America.

If we place the expected rise in sea level by 2100, which is 2 meters, on these interactive maps, we can see that the most affected cities will be:

– Albufeira de Valencia and the Ebro Delta on the Spanish Mediterranean coast.

– Hamburg and half of the Netherlands in Northern Europe.

– Volgograd and other cities of Russia.

-Coastal areas of Guinea, Gambia and Senegal in Africa.

– Lower cities of Japan, China and Korea.

– Coastal city on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

– Island of Puerto Rico.

– Coast of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay in South America.

– Some areas of Louisiana, California, Florida and Washington in the United States.

On the other hand, there is also an interactive map from Berliner Morgenpost, a German newspaper, which indicates the habitable areas of the world for the year 2100, where we can see the impact of different climatic factors such as climate change, water shortages, heat, floods and tropical cyclones.

According to these German experts, the map has been prepared on the basis of scientific studies and models and it does not take into account some future technological factors. They also mentioned that the uninhabited areas will be places with unfavorable living conditions where there will be intense heat and humidity and lack of water.
