Fig. 1: Global estimates of populations at high risk from flood hazards: a comparison of exposure-only and globally standardised vulnerability-adjusted approaches.
From: Integrating social vulnerability into high-resolution global flood risk mapping
Globally standardised estimates of the size and share of populations living in areas classified in the top two risk quintiles. In a, flood risk is measured with reference expected population exposure (AEP × Population) alone; b shows vulnerability-adjusted estimates based on quintiles of gridded GDP per capita standardised against the global income distribution; c shows vulnerability-adjusted estimates with gridded multidimensional relative deprivation estimates.
