THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF NATURAL DISASTER WORLDWIDE
– AND THE FASTEST GROWING

• The number of flooding occurences has

more than doubled since the year 2000

• 2016 was the 40th consecutive year of

above-average global temperatures

• The tendency for flooding caused by

extreme weather is expected to continue

• For the fourth consecutive year,

the costliest disaster scenario in 2016 was
flooding
