Can You Name These Countries Drastically Affected by the Climate Crisis?

Venice consists of 118 islands connected by nearly 400 bridges and just recently experienced its worst flooding in 50 years. Parts of Venice sunk 6 feet below water in 2019, and rising sea levels are partly responsible.

The Amazon rainforest doesn't produce 20% of the world's oxygen, but it produces enough oxygen and water to sustain itself, which is a lot. If just 25% of the trees are chopped down, the forest won't produce enough water to sustain itself and will turn into dry land.

Australia experienced the worst bushfire season on record. The fires began in 2019 and burned well into 2020. They damaged more than 46 million acres, more than 3,000 buildings, more than 2,700 homes and killed an estimated 1 billion animals.

As far as climatologists are concerned, Greenland is ground zero of global warming. If all of Greenland's ice melted, the sea level would rise more than 20 feet, and that would have drastic consequences around the world.

The Dead Sea is shrinking for a variety of reasons, but dry weather, weak rainfall and strong evaporation due to climate change is partly to blame. The sea sits at Earth's lowest surface point and is slowly sinking deeper.

Japan's capital, Tokyo, is recognized as the most populous metro area in the world with nearly 40 million residents. Conservative estimates say the country will undergo at least $1 trillion in damages due to climate change by the year 2070.

Almost half of Russia and much of Siberia is uninhabited simply because it's so cold. Most of the land is covered in permafrost, but because of global warming, the land could thaw out and become fertile. The rest of the world will likely have suffered drastic consequences by that time.

India is home to more than 1.3 billion citizens and is on pace to soon overtake China as the most populous country in the world. The country has been experiencing drier climate and hotter temperatures as the the effects of global warming spill all over the world.

It has been estimated that about 150 million people will be displaced by 2050 because of rising sea levels due to climate change. A majority of those people live in Southeast Asia, and the Philippines would be one of the hardest hit countries.

The average air temperature has increased significantly over the past 150 years, and this leads to a host a of problems ranging from glacial melting to public health concerns. The increased temperatures also allow pests and viruses to spread easier.

Madagascar is home to some of the most unique animals on Earth, and very few of them are found elsewhere. The island country is also at high risk of drought and typhoons because of the effects of climate change.

North America and the Arctic are seeing the effects of global warming more than anywhere else on the planet. Canada's snow-covered land is shrinking, its land temperature is rising, and the country is steadily seeing more rainfall and less snowfall.

Glacier National Park is still home to 25 glaciers, but it used to be home to 150 glaciers. Park officials replaced the "Gone by 2020" signs, but scientists still say the last 25 glaciers could be gone within a few decades.

The Svalbard region of Norway is the northernmost part of Europe. The country has been affected by climate change in several ways. Sea levels are rising, permafrost is thawing, and glaciers are melting.

Maldives is a small island nation in the Arabian Sea with a population of about 400,000 citizens. In a worst case scenario where the ocean levels rise more than 50 inches by the year 2100, Maldives would be completely under water.

Hurricane Maria landed on Puerto Rico in the summer of 2017 and was the largest hurricane on the island in nearly a century. According to the "Global Climate Risk Index 2020," Puerto Rico has been affected by climate change more than any other country in the world over the past 20 years.

The Elfstedentocht is an 11-city ice skating race recognized as the largest sporting event in the Netherlands. The last time the race was held in the Netherlands was 1997 because it hasn't been cold enough for the canals to freeze thick enough.

More than 40 people died after Cyclone Winston brought 177 mile per hour winds and devastating rainfall to the islands of Fiji in 2016. The cyclone was the strongest tropical storm recorded in the southern hemisphere.

The United Arab Emirates is at risk of the effects of climate change because of its location. The country has been facing extremely dry temperatures as well as drought. The rising sea levels also pose a threat to the country's coast.

Quality wine begins with quality grapes, and quality grapes are directly controlled by the ground and climate in which they grow. Average temperatures during growing season in the Rhone Valley have significantly increased, forcing winemakers to adapt in major ways.

Maasai Mara is one of the most famous reserves in the world and is home to an abundance of African wildlife. Kenya has declared a state of emergency on multiple occasions after years and years of drought.

Between 1992 and 2002, Antarctica was losing 40 billion tons of ice each year, but by 2017, that number increased fivefold to 220 billion tons a year. The average temperature on the continent has also significantly risen.

All of Africa is at great risk of the effects of global warming. Rwanda is no exception. The country has experienced random periods of heavy rainfall and flooding as well as prolonged periods of drought.

Rising temperatures and melting glaciers are causing sea levels to rise around the world, and New Zealand is at great risk. Water levels are projected to rise close to 20 inches around the country within the century.

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world and is at risk of irreparable damage whenever a natural disaster threatens the country. The earthquake that hit in 2010 caused $8 billion in damage and killed 230,000 people.

Mount Everest is the world's highest mountain and is becoming more dangerous to climb because of the melting glaciers and changing terrain. The warming temperatures have also led to an increase in avalanches and falling rocks.

Mexico's average temperature has risen several degrees over the past 50 years. The warming temperature affects everything from agriculture to air pollution, and climate change has been declared the biggest threat facing Mexico.

Cyclone Phet hit Pakistan in 2010. It affected 20 million people and caused nearly $1 billion in damage. Pakistan has consistently ranked in the top 10 countries threatened by climate change because of its location.

Rising temperatures over the past several decades has caused coral bleaching all over the world. Recent studies have found that coral bleaching has caused nearly a 90% decrease in new coral growth on the Great Barrier Reef.

Being an island, Sri Lanka is at great risk from the effects of climate change. The country ranks as one of the most threatened countries in the 2020 Climate Risk Index. It could face massive displacement as sea levels rise.

Glaciers around the world are melting, and the same holds true for the glaciers atop Mount Kilimanjaro. The mountain soars more than 19,000 feet high and is Africa's tallest mountain. Scientists say the air around the summit is getting hotter or drier.

The Arctic Ocean freezes every winter and thaws out every summer, but recently, it has been melting faster and taking longer to freeze each year. The melting has greatly affected the polar bear population that relies on the ice for survival.

Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world and home to Java, which is the most populated island in the world. More than 140 million people live on Java and about 260 million people live in Indonesia.

Cyclone Nargis originated in the Indian Ocean in 2008 and caused chaos in several Southeast Asian countries. Nearly 140,000 people were killed in Myanmar alone, and the cyclone did about $13 billion in damage in the area.

Cambodians celebrate the end of the rainy season every year, but with global warming, that celebration is becoming more and more sporadic. The rainy season is dangerous all over the region, and Cambodia is at high risk of global warming.
