While billions of people and ecosystems least able to cope are being hit hardest by climate change, trillions of dollars worth of assets will be exposed to risks from storms and rising sea levels by 2100, scientists said.
Water is a fundamental element on earth and plays a key role in balancing ecosystems. It's also one of the main indicators of climate change, with glaciers melting and coastal regions threatened by rising sea levels.

Global warming is threatening ice shelves linked to the Thwaites Glacier. If they fracture and break, much of the glacier could melt into the sea, causing a dramatic sea level rise.
