| Summary: | The Europe and Central Asia (ECA)
Country Risk Profiles for floods and earthquakes presented
in this publication are based on quantitative risk
assessments derived using global flood and earthquake
models.Flood and earthquake risk were defined in terms of
affected population and affected gross domestic product
(GDP). Earthquake risk was quantified in terms of fatalities
and capital loss. Estimates of future population and GDP
affected by earthquakes vary significantly among five shared
socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) used to represent population
and GDP in 2030 and 2080. The objectives are to inform
governments of the levels of risk their countries face and
facilitate discussions on how they can become more resilient
to both and current risks. |
