Long-term changes in global socioeconomic benefits of flood defenses and residual risk based on CMIP5 climate models

A warmer climate is expected to accelerate the global hydrological cycle, causing more intense precipitation and floods. Despite recent progress in global flood risk assessment, the socioeconomic benefits of flood defenses (i.e., reduction in population/economic exposure) and the residual risk (i.e....
