Rising sea levels are submerging low-lying islands and coastal cities, redrawing national coastlines and potentially making some territories uninhabitable. Desertification is expanding in semi-arid regions, turning farmland into wasteland. Melting glaciers and polar ice are altering river flows, creating new lakes, and threatening water security for millions. Extreme weather is shifting agricultural zones, forcing crop migration poleward.In the long term (2100+), these changes may trigger major population displacements, border disputes over newly accessible resources (Arctic), and even the emergence of new “climate migration routes” that reshape geopolitical maps.The geography we study in textbooks today will look significantly different by the end of the century.https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1
