The population exposed to river flooding in the European Union (including the UK) could double or even triple by 2100 when compared to 2020, if no adaptation measures are taken. For a warming scenario of ***, it is forecast that more than *** thousand would be exposed in the region in a no-adaptation scenario. In contrast, the EU population exposed to river floods would lie between ** and 100 thousand people per year in a scenario where adaptation measures are undertaken, with little variation across warming scenarios.
