5 Countries That Will Disappear by 2050

4. Fiji

Sea Level Rise per Year: 6 mm

Fiji, located in the Pacific Islands, faces a threat due to its low-lying topography and the effects of climate change. Earlier, people in the village of Vunidogoloa in Fiji had to move because of the rise in sea levels. A World Bank report notes that some villages have lost 15-20 meters of land as the mangroves, essential for shore protection, are disappearing. Predictions indicate a potential sea level rise of 43 centimeters by 2050, which will increase challenges for coastal communities.
