People & exposure

每年 5.5 毫米的海平面上升速率构成威胁,直接悬在居住于低海拔和沿海地区的 75%-85% 全国人口的生计之上

Supplied page: p. 8

This slow-onset threat hangs over the livelihoods of 75-85% of Timor-Leste's population residing in low and coastal areas of the country.

Economic impact

10% annual GDP

Projected disaster damage by 2100; includes earthquakes and tsunamis

Submitted extraction — not independently verified

亚行 2013 年研究估计,到 2100 年热带风暴、滑坡、洪水等灾害损失可能高达年 GDP 的 10%

Supplied page: p. 27

A 2013 ADB study estimated that damage resulting from tropical windstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis may cost Timor-Leste 10% of its annual GDP by 2100, making it one of the worst hit countries in the Pacific region

Caveats: Source title combines NAP and NDC 3.0 with one year and no per-document pages. NAP is only a candidate source, not a confirmed attribution. The 5.5mm/year, 80% and hazard-specific dollar losses lack supporting quotes. The 10% estimate is multi-hazard, not climate-only.
