Fig. 3: Projected exposure of coastal zone functions by scenario combinations, assuming current flood protection standards.
From: Development policy affects coastal flood exposure in China more than sea-level rise
a–o, Exposed functions include population (a–c), ESV (d–f), grain production (g–i), aquaculture production (j–l) and GDP (m–o). In a, d, g, j and m, solid lines show median exposure across three SLR scenarios, with uncertainty bands showing the effects of five policy scenarios. In b, e, h, k and n, solid lines represent median exposure across three policy scenarios, uncertainty bands showing the effects of three SLR scenarios. In c, f, i, l and o, red bars show decadal variability (range) around SLR scenarios driven by policy; blue bars show decadal variability (range) around policy scenarios driven by SLR. Points represent the range around each of the three scenario combination sets; bar heights indicate the average of the three.
