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

The report examines the intensifying flood risk in Da Nang, Vietnam, driven by a combination of rapid urbanization, land-use change, tidal flooding, and heavy rainfall. It specifically analyzes how climate change is expected to alter the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events—currently caused by typhoons or localized storms—and increase sea levels, potentially leading to unprecedented flooding levels when coupled with continued urban development.

• Da Nang faces increasing flood risk due to the convergence of rapid urbanization, land-use changes, tidal flooding, and heavy rainfall occurring both within the city and upstream.
