Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment (2015, methodology): “[73] did not account for upward displacement of the flood plain from sea-level rise.”
A Review of Cost Estimates for Flood Adaptation (2018, background): “Climate change and sea-level rise further increase the frequency and severity of flood hazards, while population and economic growth further exacerbate flood exposure in low-lying coastal areas [2].”
A global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels (2016, neutral): “In recent years, coastal ﬂood risk has increased due to population, economic growth 8 and land subsidence 9,10 .”
Global projections of river flood risk in a warmer world (2017, background): “…flood risk assessment have estimated the global population [Hirabayashi et al., 2013; Arnell and Gosling, 2014] and gross domestic products (GDP) [Jongman et al., 2012; Winsemius different warming levels based on ensemble climate projections • At 4∘C warming 70% of the world population and GDP…”
On the relation between weather-related disaster impacts, vulnerability and climate change (2014, background): “Estimates of future disaster impacts are sparse in the literature, though they may be found in Maaskant et al. (2009), Jongman et al. (2012) and Bouwer (2013), for example.”
Assessing flood risk at the global scale: model setup, results, and sensitivity (2013, methodology): “Jongman et al (2012a) contributed further by quantifying changes in population and assets exposed to 100-year flood events between 1970 and 2050.”
A global framework for future costs and benefits of river-flood protection in urban areas (2017, neutral): “40.”
