Assessing climate change impacts, sea level rise and storm surge risk in port cities: a case study on Copenhagen [1]

This study illustrates a methodology to assess economic impacts of climate change at city scale, focusing on sea level rise and storm surge. It is based on a statistical analysis of past storm surges in the studied city, matched to a geographical-information analysis of the population and asset exposure in the city, for various sea levels and storm surge characteristics. An assessment of direct losses in case of storm surge can then be computed and the corresponding indirect losses
