## Resource

By 2050, rising sea levels could put several countries at risk of being underwater. These include low-lying nations like the Maldives and Tuvalu, which face severe threats from ocean encroachment. Coastal areas in countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam are also highly vulnerable. If we don't act fast, many communities could be displaced, losing their homes and livelihoods to the rising seas. Check if your country is on the alert list. Credit: Buada Lagoon: Lorrie Graham/AusAID, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
