Data from Climate Central, a non-profit scientific news organisation, has revealed which areas are most under threat from the looming crisis. The organisation has mapped the areas that could end up below the annual flood level by 2050. While no city will end up totally underwater by that point, the maps show several will end up losing some potentially significant portions of their coastline.

       The nation's capital is also one of the UK's lowest-lying cities, and it sits on the banks of the Thames.

       The city is already prone to flooding, but by 2050, it could present an unprecedented crisis.

       Data shows several areas will end up almost entirely under the flood level.

       Stratford, Barking, Dagenham, Fulham, Greenwich, parts of Westminster, Bermondsey, and Canary Wharf will have to fight the Thames' rising tides.

       Wales, despite having no shortage of higher land, has several of its flatter cities located on the coast.

       Cardiff and Newport are two such cities, sharing a coastline on the Bristol Channel.

       By 2050, both stand to lose significant portions of their total area to the rising tides.

       Cardiff will see water encroach up to Llandough in the east, Victoria Park in the north, right through Newport to the east to Sudbrook.

       The rest of the coastline will also have to cope with rising water, but not to the same extent as the two Welsh metropolises.

       Northern England could end up one of the regions worst impacted by climate change, with vast chunks devoured by rising tides.

       Hull is just one of many cities in its path, with its urban population likely to sink below the annual flood level.

       Almost the entire region is under threat, as the coast starting from Easington across to Hessle anticipates new flooding.

       The water looks set to extend as far north as Nafferton.

       Several other regions sitting on the Humber will suffer the same effects, with its tributaries towards Goole and Scunthorpe extending floodwaters to the west.

       Much like Cardiff and Newport, Liverpool and its fellow cities in the Midlands reside on the same section of coastline.

       Each of them will have to deal with rising floodwaters in their own way.

       In Liverpool, water will carve out a section of the coast around the Mersey, extending down to Birkenhead and as far East as Warrington.

       Southport, according to the map, will end up almost entirely underwater, with only a limited chunk from Formby to Hillside left relatively untouched.

       Blackpool, the north's seaside city, will see its coastline carved out in two vast chunks, meaning it loses parts of its pleasure beach.

       Scotland's craggy landscape means most of the country is well above sea level.

       As such, relatively few cities will have to tackle the realities of climate change in 2050.

       But Falkirk is one of the few unlucky enough to end up on its receiving end.

       The Avon, which runs through most of the city, will end up depositing more water on the coast over the next few decades.

       No area on its immediate banks will be left untouched as waters rise as far west as the Kelpies.
