Northern Europe is one of the regions where more frequent and more severe storms and storm surges are expected due to climatic changes. In order to maintain an acceptable risk of flooding suitable adaptation strategies must be defined and implemented. Optimum solutions demand collaboration of different professionals and thus simple graphical means must be employed to illustrate the economic impacts of the change in risk of flooding. A case study indicates that urban drainage infrastructure capacity should be upgraded while there is currently no economic incentive to improve protection against sea surges.
北欧是预计因气候变化而风暴和风暴潮更频繁、更严重的地区之一。为了将洪水风险维持在可接受水平，必须制定并实施适当的适应策略。最佳解决方案需要不同专业人员的协作，因此必须采用简单的图形手段来说明洪水风险变化的经济影响。一个案例研究表明，城市排水基础设施能力应予以提升，而目前尚无改善抵御风暴潮保护措施的经济激励因素。
