This study presents global estimates of the number of people exposed to high flood risks in interaction with poverty. It finds that 1.81 billion people (23% of world population) are directly exposed to 1-in-100-year floods. Of these, 1.24 billion are located in South and East Asia, where China (395 million) and India (390 million) account for over one-third of global exposure. Low- and middle-income countries are home to 89% of the world’s flood-exposed people. Of the 170 million facing high flood risk and extreme poverty (living on under $1.90 per day), 44% are in Sub-Saharan Africa. Over 780 million of those living on under $5.50 per day face high flood risk. Using state-of-the-art poverty and flood data, our findings highlight the scale and priority regions for flood mitigation measures to support resilient development.

Given how much this shit is used in the west, 'if only' to burn harvested rootstock every year, this doesn't bode well.
I think next two decades are going to be the peak of environmental fuckedupedness, unless we get our collective act together. If it's not the peak, then we're absolutely fucked.

- I mean, I've known everything's on the precipice of fuckedupedness for more than half my life, but I'd never contextualised the very short amount of time.Nairn
- within a couple of hundred orbits of the sun, but particularly the last 60 or so, we've wrought change on a scale rarely seen over billions of years.Nairn
- And I meant billions.Nairn

What percentage?
I'd guess 56% total fuckedness, if there were to be a sweepstake.

I best start buying land in northern Norway & Canada for the great grand children to live.
- No respite in Canada, either, I'm afraid. Fam tells me it just keeps getting hotter, even in the extreme north.Continuity
