Adapting To Rising River Flood Risk In The Eu Under Climate Change

Adapting To Rising River Flood Risk In The Eu Under Climate Change Direct damages from flooding could become six times present losses by the end of the century in case of no climate mitigation and adaptation. keeping global warming well below 2°c would halve these impacts. adequate adaptation strategies can further substantially reduce future flood impacts. River flood risk in europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and continued development in flood prone areas. here, we appraise the potential of four key adaptation.

River flood risk in europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and continued development in flood prone areas. here, we appraise the potential of four key adaptation strategies to reduce flood risk across europe based on flood risk modelling and cost–benefit analysis. We assess river flood risk and adaptation for all eu countries and uk, with the exception of malta, where flooding is caused by pluvial and flash flood events and water courses are too small to be represented in the river flood modelling framework here applied.

Flood adaptation can be highly cost effective and is crucial to offset rising river flood risk in europe with climate change, according to a study co developed by scientists from the jrc and published in nature climate change. Effective adaptation strategies need to be implemented to limit the impact of river flooding on population and assets. this research builds upon a recently developed flood risk assessment framework at european scale to explore the benefits of adaptation against extreme floods.
