Flooded Future: Europe's Rising Economic Risk
An analysis of risk of flood damage to property and infrastructure in 292 EU states and provinces
Europe’s financial and industrial engines are facing escalating risk of damage due to climate change extreme weather, with the risk of flood damage to property and infrastructure already estimated to be 30% worse due to climate and projected to double by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario, according to XDI's new benchmarking report.
The analysis, Flooded Future: Europe’s Rising Economic Risk, ranks every EU country, state and province by modelled risk of flood damage to the built environment from riverine and surface water flooding. It highlights that many of the highest-risk areas are also Europe’s economic and supply chain hubs: Milan, Paris, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Barcelona among them.
