Global River Basins Face Increasing Compound Flood Risks
• A new study reveals increasing compound flood risks in global river basins due to climate change.
• High-tide flooding is projected to dramatically increase, especially in tropical basins like the Amazon and Congo.
• Mitigation strategies include climate action, coastal protection, and improved flood management.
Compound flood risks increasing in global river basins
A recent study published in *Nature* has brought to light the increasing risks of compound flooding in major global river basins. This phenomenon is driven by the interaction of river flows and tidal influences, which are further intensified by the effects of climate change.
