Cities on rivers are most at risk from rising water caused by climate change, according to a report from the UN and the World Bank.
The report, Climate Resilient Cities, gives city planners practical advice, noting that eight of the planet's ten largest cities are on rivers or seas and as such vulnerable to flooding, rising sea levels and storms.
With more people living in cities than in the countryside, the advice could save many lives.
