This paper seeks to quantify the impact of a1-m sea-level rise on coastal
wetlands in 86 developing countries and territories. It is found that
approximately 68 % of coastal wetlands in these countries are at risk. A large
percentage of this estimated loss is found in Europe and Central Asia, East Asia,
and the Pacific, as well as in the Middle East and North Africa. A small number
of countries will be severely affected. China and Vietnam(in East Asia and the
Pacific), Libya and Egypt (in the Middle East and North Africa), and Romania and
Ukraine (in Europe and Central Asia) will bear most losses. In economic terms,
the loss of coastal wetlands is likely to exceed $703 million per year in 2000 US
dollars.
