Flood displacement risk: Assessment for Fiji and Vanuatu in current and future climate scenarios
As in many small island developing states (SIDSs), exposure to flood hazards in Fiji and Vanuatu is driven by the growing concentration of people and assets in low-lying urban coastal areas. Disasters affect ever more people in these areas, causing increasing harm to employment, housing and basic services such as education and healthcare.
This report presents a first attempt to fill this information gap by estimating future riverine flood displacement risk at the national and sub-national level for Fiji and Vanuatu. It proposes a new methodology that provides a more comprehensive assessment of vulnerability in the context of disaster displacement risk.
