Abstract
This chapter summarizes all effects of the key drivers that are influencing flood risk change in the long-term. It provides an overview on all factors that are relevant for the increase or decrease of flood risks, ranging from factors regarding environmental change, climatic change, and socioeconomic change. Knowing the isolated effects of the single drivers of change is the basis for approaching the comprehension of the complex interdependence between these drivers of change and their coevolution. A special focus is given to the spatiotemporal dynamics of flood risk change, by explaining where change in the system components occurs and where these become relevant for flood risk change. Herein, upstream–downstream and a river basin–river reach relationship as well as legacy effects in time and space will be explained. After the description of the effects of individual drivers of change on flood risk evolution, this chapter summarizes the coevolution of the drivers of flood risk change.
