    Selon un nouveau rapport sur le changement climatique, publié cette fois-ci par la cellule de réflexion CGD, voici les 20 villes dans lesquelles les populations seront le plus exposées au risque de montée du niveau de la mer et à l’émergence de tempêtes, dans le monde en développement.

    Les projections établies par le rapport se fondent sur :

    - Une hausse d’un mètre du niveau de la mer
    - Une augmentation de 10 pour cent dans l’intensité des tempêtes les plus fortes enregistrées sur 100 ans
    - Des estimations de croissance des populations établies par les Nations Unies.
