It depends on how much we can slow global warming. Storms surges are already flooding some coastlands and cities. Maybe next time we won't be able to pump out the New York tunnels.

It is difficult to determine an exact number as it depends on various factors such as the rate of sea level rise, population density in coastal areas, and efforts to adapt and mitigate the impacts. However, it is estimated that millions of people living in low-lying coastal areas may be at risk of losing their homes due to sea level rise in the coming decades.
