Distribution of economic damages due to climate-driven sea-level rise across European regions and sectors

Economic costs of climate change are conventionally assessed at the aggregated global and national levels, while adaptation is local. When present, regionalised assessments are confined to direct damages, hindered by both data and models’ limitations.

This article goes beyond the aggregated analysis to explore direct and indirect economic consequences of sea level rise (SLR) at regional and sectoral levels in Europe.

The study used data from COACCH project, ACCREU’s predecessor. Published on 18 January 2024 on Nature, it was authored among others by ACCREU Coordinator Francesco Bosello and is available here.
