Billion people face global flooding risk by 2060, charity warns
A British aid charity is warning that by 2060 more than a billion people worldwide will live in cities at risk of catastrophic flooding as a result of climate change.
A study by Christian Aid says the US, China and India are among the countries most threatened.
It says the Indian cities of Kolkata and Mumbai will be most at risk.
The eight most vulnerable cities on the list are all in Asia, followed by Miami in the US.
The report urges governments to take action to reduce global warming and invest in disaster reduction programmes.
