  Coastal Risk Analysis and Adaptation Strategy Development

  In the project funded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Dr. Asmerom Gilau, Principal Researcher at Epsilon Innovation Group has conducted coastal sea level rise risk analysis. The opposite graph shows the City of Lagos, Nigeria coastline sea level rise scenario analysis developed by Dr. Asmerom Gilau in a project funded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Nicholls et. al. (2007) indicates that out of fifty coastal cities of the world, the City of Lagos is one the top twenty populous cities exposed to present-day extreme sea levels. The report indicates that next to Dhaka and Chittagong of Bangladesh and Ningbo of China, Lagos is ranked the fourth highly exposed city to sea level rise and storm surge. This also implies that developing countries who has no strong technical capability and financial access are at risk.
