Climate Resilience: Drought and Flood Risk in Copenhagen
Copenhagen's cloudburst programme has cut flood risk by about 9-10%, but under funding rules in force since 2021 only 59 of 242 surface projects are expected to reach the 100-year standard. Sea level at Copenhagen is projected to rise 38-86 cm by 2100, and the 2026 heatwave showed that drought now tests a water supply whose buffer was 11% in 2025.
