Session Proposal: Global Flood Damages and Underlying Drivers (AGU25)

NH021
Global Flood Damages and Underlying Drivers

Session ID#: 247357

Session Description:
Globally, floods cause billions of dollars in losses each year, yet the relationship between flooding and resulting damage remains poorly understood. This session focuses on global datasets and continental- to global-scale studies that examine how flood damage patterns vary across sectors. Despite the existence of global flood databases, challenges such as inconsistent damage estimation methods and the exclusion of moderate events from insurance reporting have limited comprehensive analyses. We invite contributions that explore global flood damage databases, their limitations, and that apply inferential methods to explore the underlying drivers of damage patterns. Additionally, studies that analyze or predict global flood risks—through any methodological or interdisciplinary lens—are also welcome.
