Flood Risk in Europe Expected to Double by 2050
2014-03-03 17:43:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The catastrophic floods that soaked Europe last summer and the United Kingdom this winter are part of the pattern of things to come. According to a new study of flood risk in Nature Climate Change annual average losses from extreme floods in Europe could increase fivefold by 2050. And the frequency of destructive floods could almost double in that period. About two-thirds of the losses to come could be explained by socio-economic growth, according to a team led by Brenden Jongman of the University...

Blue and Green: Losses from extreme floods in Europe could soar over the next 36 years, as climate change and socioeconomic development have an impact. In addition, extreme events will also become more frequent. The research, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, uses a new model to assess the cost of flooding across Europe. Researchers from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) estimated that in the European Union, flood costs averaged EUR4.9 billion (4 billion) a year from...

Europe-wide flood losses to 'increase four fold' by 2050
2014-03-03 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: According to the most accurate model yet developed, flood damage losses across Europe are expected to increase four fold by 2050. The scientists believe that the continent's annual flood costs may be 23.5bn euros by the middle of the century. Two-thirds of the projected increase in flood damage will be caused by human development, not climate change. The study has been published in the journal Nature Climate Change. One of the big problems for European flood disaster research has been...
