The annual costs for climatological, hydrological, and meteorological natural disasters for 2000 through 2023 were obtained from
The Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED)
(https://public.emdat.be/data) (see Figure 1). Linear projections of this data though 2100 were then made (see Table 1). |
