To provide a data set that allows users to understand how climate change impacts on water availability, crop productivity, and pasturelands (where no cropping occurs), coupled with sea-level rise, storm surge and flooding, may affect the future population distribution and climate-related internal migration in West Africa and the Lake Victoria Basin.

To provide a data set that allows users to understand how slow-onset climate change impacts on water availability and crop productivity, coupled with sea-level rise and storm surge, may affect the future population distribution and climate-related internal migration in low to middle income countries.

To provide a means of assessing the relative distribution and frequency of global flood hazard.

To provide a spatial surface of the total economic impacts of global flood hazard.

To provide a spatial surface of the proportional economic impacts of global flood hazard.

To provide a means of assessing global flood mortality risks and distribution.
