Distributional consequences of flood risk management
This project will provide a robust, national assessment of the distribution of costs and benefits of Flood Risk Management (FRM). The benefits of this work will:
- inform policy on the funding of flood prevention;
- develop a wide reaching, national quantification of who benefits and loses from the current flooding approach;
- appraise alternative options for FRM funding approaches;
- help to understand the implications of the current move towards a risk based approach to flood risk insurance;
- and improve the understanding and appreciation of ‘fairness’ in the current FRM funding approach and alternative scenarios.
