AB - Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its relat- ed effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend is expected to continue into the future, we investigate how coastal populations will be affected by such impacts at global OPEN ACCESS and regional scales by the years 2030 and 2060. Starting from baseline population estimates Citation: Neumann B, Vafeidis AT, Zimmermann J, for the year 2000, we assess future population change in the low-elevation coastal zone and Nicholls RJ (2015) Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal trends in exposure to 100-year coastal floods based on four different sea-level and socio-eco- Flooding - A Global Assessment.
