Damages and losses from coastal and river floods are projected to increase substantially in Europe over the 21st century  . Coastal areas have already started to be affected by SLR  and human exposure to coastal hazards is projected to increase in the next decades , but less under SSP1  than SSP5  by the end of the century  . Under low adaptation , severe consequences include an increase in expected annual damage by a factor of at least 20 for 1.5°C-2.1℃ GWL  and by two to three orders of magnitude between 2°C and 3°℃ GWL in EU-28   . Under high adaptation , expected annual damages still increase by a factor of 5 above 2°C GWL . Sea levels are committed to rise for centuries , submerging at least 10% of the territory in
