A novel approach to developing local flood vulnerability scenarios based on the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways framework
A novel method downscales global SSPs to regional flood-risk contexts. • SSP narratives bridge disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation domains. • Socioeconomic trends link with vulnerability data for sector-based planning. • Comparing SSPs shows sustainable policies can reduce flood vulnerability. • The SSP-based vulnerability framework is transferable to other regions. Developing locally tailored vulnerability scenarios is crucial …
Advancing understanding of the complex nature of flood risks to inform comprehensive risk management
Driven by rapid climate, socio-economic, environmental, and political change, flood risks in urban regions are on the rise. Given that cities and urban regions are highly complex and integrated systems comprising social, ecological and infrastructure domains, flood risks in urban regions are characterized by high levels of complexity, such as cascading effects, interconnected risks and interacting risk drivers. To ensure the effectiveness of risk…
Disaster-related losses of ecosystems and their services. Why and how do losses matter for disaster risk reduction
Climate-related hazards, more specifically droughts, floods and storms, cause the largest share of people affected by disasters and major economic losses. While social and economic disaster-related losses are monitored and documented, this is not well established for the environmental losses. It is well known that environmental degradation is a key driver of disaster risk. As such, healthy ecosystems are acknowledged to contribute to disaster ris…
