Abstract: In the context of intensifying climate change impacts, this report quantifies average annual fluvial flood losses for eight Brazilian cities under three climate scenarios covering 2025 to 2100. It highlights the economic case for adaptation, insurance and better financial planning for flooding, and by implication, other climate-related physical risks. The analysis is informed by stakeholder interviews including with Brazilian policymakers, international actors and the insurance sector.
