Rising Flood Risk: 100-Year Floods Could Occur Annually by 2050
A new study suggests that by 2050, regions worldwide could experience 100-year floods annually due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. These devastating floods, historically considered rare events with a one percent chance of occurring in any given year, could occur every nine to fifteen years on average. The study highlights the need to combat climate change to mitigate the increasing frequency of these destructive floods.
