Bangkok:
In 2005, Bangkok had an official population of 5,658,953 (Wikipedia). With a Sea Level rise of 3m I would suggest that over 4.5 million people will be displaced. As Australia is one of Thailand's closest developed nations that has the space and resources to accommodate for refugees, it would be suggested that many of these 'climate refugees' would be accepted by Australia.
