An Assessment of the Socio-Economic Impacts of Floods under Climate Change Conditions in Large Coastal Cities in South and Southeast Asia

The project was aimed to assess socioeconomic impacts of flooding under climate change conditions in low-lying large coastal cities in South and South-east Asia to assist the policy makers of the region to better understand the vulnerability of fast developing coastal cities under climate variability and socio-economic changes. The major recommendation of this project is the need for a single organization/agency dealing with flood mitigation and which can simultaneously address climate change issues. The need for delineating flood mitigation and management policies from disaster management policy is also suggested.
