| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
How to response to mega flood disasters has been demanding global attention in recent years. To address this challenge, it is extremely important to be able to reproduce, assess and verify flood risk under the present (1979-2003) and future (2075-2099) climate conditions. This study presents a methodological possibility based on a global approach to assess river flood risk and its present and future changes, focusing on vulnerable floodplain areas and mega deltas in the Asia-Pacific region in consideration of climate change impacts. The preliminary results found an upward tendency of the region in inundation depth. The study also applied vulnerability indicators with the preliminary results to 14 Asian countries to assess the region’s flood risk in the future, and found that Bangladesh may be exposed to the highest flood risk among the selected countries.
