Fig. 4: Exposed population.

From: Accounting for tropical cyclones more than doubles the global population exposed to low-probability coastal flooding

Fig. 4

The panels show the (a) number of people exposed to an RP1000 flood event per country relative to the global population, taking TCs and ETCs into account, and (b) the part of the exposure caused by TCs per country. For countries depicted in gray on both subpanels, estimates of exposure are equal to zero, while countries that are only gray on the right panel (b) are not affected by TCs that contribute to the country’s exposure.
