Strengthening urban flood resilience through data‑driven risk analytics

Urban flooding is an increasingly severe climate risk in many GCIEP partner countries, affecting housing, transport, health, basic services and economic development. Rapid urbanisation, undersized or poorly maintained drainage networks, encroachment on wetlands and coastal zones, and rising sea levels are combining to increase the frequency and severity of floods. Against this backdrop, GCIEP and its alliance partners have been working with governments to move from reactive emergency response towards proactive, risk‑informed planning and investment.
