Flood risk and climate change are pushing millions of people to move from their homes, according to a new study by the risk analysis firm First Street Foundation.
Objective: Vulnerability of healthcare facilities (HCF's) in Malaysia due to flooding from climate change impacts is understudied. This study aims to identify the flood prone government HCF's due to climate change. Methods: Projection of 100-year Return Period riverine flooding at baseline or curr...

"Climate change impacts have greatly affected Ethiopia in terms of flooding, drought and food insecurity," a UNEP statement quoted Margaret Oduk, Program Coordinator at UNEP's Liaison Office to the African Union Commission (AUC), the UN Economic Commission for Africa, and Ethiopia as saying on ...
despite the substantial development of climate models since CMIP5. Differences in the direction of change in Texas (USA), the Amazon, Italy, and South Africa were not caused by differences among the models used. Our comparison of return period change data obtained by six models from institutions...
Increased storm frequency and intensity related to climate change are exacerbated by such local factors as the growing occupation of floodplains, increased runoff from hard surfaces, inadequate waste management and silted-up drainage. One can distinguish four types of flooding in urban areas: localized...
Climate change is driving sea levels to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per year. Higher sea levels push storm surges further inland, which creates more destructive flooding along the coastlines. Flooding results in damaged homes, ruined roads and contaminated drinking water, ...
