Expected Annual Damage from coastal flooding. expressed in billion € from coastal flooding per country for 2050 and 2100 under RCP4.5-SSP1 (Sustainability).
The indicator has been estimated by incorporating the impacts of global warming and the different socio-economic development scenarios. It consist of the median expected annual damage in billions of € from coastal flooding per country for 2050 and 2100 under RCP4.5-SSP1 (Sustainability).
Rising extreme sea levels (ESLs) and continued socioeconomic development in coastal zones will lead to increasing future flood risk along the European coastline.
The exposure of European coastal areas for coastal flooding differs substantially between EU countries and sea basins. Particularly countries on the Atlantic-Arc and the North Sea have a higher risk of annual damage. This has on the one hand to do with the exposure of countries such as the UK, France, Denmark or Norway or Germany to seas that are affected by global winds and climate effects.
