Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
This work combines spatially explicit estimates of the baseline population with demographic data in order to derive scenario-driven projections of coastal population development and highlights countries and regions with a high degree of exposure to coastal flooding and help identifying regions where policies and adaptive planning for building resilient coastal communities are not only desirable but essential.
