climate change impacts on flooding

Climate change contributes to increased flooding by raising global temperatures, which lead to more intense and frequent storms, heavier rainfall, and melting ice caps. These changes cause sea levels to rise and make land more vulnerable to flooding. As a result, communities face higher risks of water damage, displacement, and infrastructure damage. The increasing severity of weather events and rising seas mean that areas previously less prone to flooding are now at greater risk, emphasizing the importance of adaptation and mitigation efforts to protect people and property from these impacts.
