ISLAMABAD: By the year 2060, across the globe, more than a billion people would live at risk due to catastrophic flooding as a result of climate change.
According to a British aid charity named “Christian Aid”, the people of the US, China and India would be at greater risk due to persisting climatic changes.
The study also called for international systems to help communities recover from devastating storms and floods, BBC reported.
The eight most vulnerable cities on the list were all in Asia and Indian cities Kolkata and Mumbai would be most at risk.
