01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

In recent years, the frequency and severity of flooding events have intensified, driven by the escalating impacts of climate change. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global warming has contributed to rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, and increased precipitation, leading to a heightened risk of flooding in vulnerable regions (IPCC, 2021). • The consequences of flooding are profound and far-reaching, with millions of people worldwide facing displacement, loss of homes, livelihoods, and tragic loss of life. In addition to the immediate human toll, floods inflict substantial economic damage, with estimates suggesting that flood-related losses could exceed $1 trillion annually by 2050 if left unchecked (World Bank, 2020).
