Here is the top twenty world port cities most vulnerable to global sea level rise, hurricanes, and land subsidence - -

• Mumbai, India

We not only have the risk of inflation due to increasing demand for basic commodities - - oil, steel, concrete, food, etc. - - we also have the risk of much tighter logistical constraints and higher transportation costs.  Looking at just China and Japan, 40% of the top twenty cites are in these two countries.
