缅甸海平面上升淹没受灾人口基线预测

Secondary WHO 2016 projection of 18M annually affected by 2070, conditional on unresolved water vulnerabilities, not present-day measured exposure.

Reported citation: Country-level Climate Fact Sheet: Myanmar · 2021 · PDF page 5

If major water vulnerabilities are not addressed, the WHO projects that an annual average of 18 million people will be affected by seal level rise-induced floods by 2070 (WHO 2016).
