The most widespread direct risk to human settlements from climate change is flooding and landslides. Projected increases in rainfall intensity and, in coastal areas, sea-level rise will be the culprits. Cities on rivers and coasts are particularly at risk.
flooding and landslides are caused therefore destroying the land. farmers would not be able to produce crops there as it will have a high content of water and it might be steeper than it should be in order for a plant to grow. settlements will also be affected as they will have a high risk of collapsing
