Cutting greenhouse gas emissions could save millions of pounds in flood damage cost.
Researchers have produced a detailed "future flood map" of Britain - simulating the impact of flooding as climate change takes its toll.
Even if climate change pledges are met - keeping temperature increase to around 1.8C - places including South-East England, North-West England and South Wales are set to experience significantly increased flooding. To create these flood risk maps, the research team from Bristol University and Fathom, a company that assesses flood and climate risk, simulated all types of flooding in the coming decades.
Chief research officer at Fathom, Dr Oliver Wing, explained that it was crucial to understand how that "flood risk landscape" would change in a warming world, because it will be different for every community.
