From decades to years: Rising seas and cyclones amplify Bangladesh’s storm-tide hazards in a warming climate
Abstract
Bangladesh has the world’s highest cyclone-induced mortality, yet future risks remain unclear, challenging sustainable development. Here, we present a comprehensive storm-tide risk assessment for Bangladesh using a physics-based approach. Our findings reveal rising risks across emission pathways, with uneven impacts by region and season. This timely assessment offers valuable guidance for climate adaptation, infrastructure planning, and coastal resilience strategies while serving as a valuable tool for other regions facing similar climate threats.
