Cascading hydroclimatic hazard impacts

The study uses an integrated approach combining hydroclimatic hazard impact and supply-driven input-output models to estimate damages to Sweden's food, electricity, and water supply. Between 2005 and 2022, combined hydroclimatic hazards caused EUR 8.4 billion in economic losses across the agriculture, electricity, and insurance sectors, with floods contributing the highest share of damage.

• Between 2005 and 2022, combined hydroclimatic hazards caused a total of EUR 8.4 billion in economic damage to the electricity, insurance, and agriculture sectors.
• Flood-related damages were the most significant contributor to the total economic loss at EUR 4.1 billion, followed by drought-induced supply shortages at EUR 2.9 billion and heatwave impacts at EUR 2.3 billion.
• Analysis at the municipal level in Sweden showed moderate to strong associations (R2 between 0.39 and 0.62) between monthly climate indices and annual supply variables.
