1 INTRODUCTION Climate change is expected to result in sea-level rise and increase the frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events, causing higher risks of coastal, fluvial and pluvial flooding. These risks are compounded by population growth, urbanisation and the concentration of people, infrastructure and other assets in flood risk areas (Kabisch et al., 2016; Keskitalo, 2013). Floods are amongst the most common climate-related disasters (Gourevitch et al., 2020).
