Climate Change: The Indian People Who Could Disappear Underwater

Uppada, a coastal village in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, is known for its unique weaving tradition.

But its existence is threatened by rising sea levels.

Several people have been displaced due to severe coastal erosion that destroyed their homes and damaged their property.

Now they are settling further offshore.

Climatologists say the nearby town of Kakinada, just 25 kilometers away, could also be underwater in 80 years.
