Businesses along the Norwegian coastline are becoming increasingly vulnerable to storm surges and flooding.
Businesses along the Norwegian coastline are becoming increasingly vulnerable to storm surges and flooding. Researchers have now created digital maps that show who is most at risk.
The climate in Norway is changing – both the air and the ocean are getting warmer. The weather is getting harsher at the same time as sea levels are rising, increasing the risk of storm surges and coastal flooding.
This could have devastating consequences for businesses and workplaces.
“We know that sea levels are rising due to climate change, but we don’t know much about who will be affected. The purpose of this study has therefore been to identify which workplaces and businesses are actually located in these flood zones,” said Francis Barre, a PhD research fellow at NTNU.
