KR4: Due to warming, changes in precipitation and sea level rise , risks to people and infrastructures from coastal, riverine and pluvial flooding will increase in Europe . Risks of inundation and extreme flooding will increase with the accelerating pace of SLR along Europe's coasts . Above 3ºC GWL, damage costs and people affected by precipitation and river flooding may double. Coastal flood damage is projected to increase at least tenfold by the end of the 21st century, and even more or earlier with current adaptation and mitigation . Sea level rise represents an existential threat for coastal communities and their cultural heritage, particularly beyond 2100 .
