Flooding is an endemic global challenge with annual damages totalling billions of dollars. Impacts are felt most acutely in in low and middle-income countries, where rapid demographic change is driving increased exposure. These areas also tend to lack high precision hazard mapping data with which to better understand or manage risk. To address this information gap a number of Global Flood Models have been developed in recent years. However, there is substantial uncertainty over the performance of these data products.
Climate change will have significant long-term impacts on people, ecosystems, and the global economy. To avoid catastrophic impacts, the world must mobilize finance at scale to deliver rapid and substantial low-carbon transitions across sectors and regions. Improving sustainable finance approaches and enhancing market alignment with this transition is crucial. Evidence shows that climate finance is not reaching those who need it most. Despite the significant climate risks faced by women and girls, only 2.3% of climate finance intends to principally support gender equality.
