Extreme Rainfall and Climate Change by the 2020s & 2050s (Technical Report)

This technical report analyzes the impact of climate change on extreme rainfall and flood risk in Da Nang, Vietnam, where rapid urbanization and population growth (11% annually) are compounding risks from sea-level rise and storm surges.

• The city of Da Nang in central Vietnam faces increasing flood risk driven by a combination of rapid urbanization, land-use change, tidal flooding, and heavy rainfall from typhoons or localized storms. Climate change is expected to intensify this risk by altering the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events and increasing sea levels, which will lead to higher storm surges and greater tidal flooding.
• Da Nang is experiencing rapid growth, with its population increasing by approximately 11% annually and construction rising along the coastline, which, combined with climate change, may lead to unprecedented flooding levels.
