 This paper proposes a framework for global flood risk assessment for river floods, which can be applied in current conditions, as well as in future conditions due to climate and socioeconomic changes. It uses a global hydrological model, a global flood routing model, and an inundation downscaling routine to estimate hazard at a resolution of one square kilometer. Additionally, it combines these hazard estimates with flood impact models at the same resolution to establish indicators for flood risk. These indicators include annual expected damage, affected GDP, and affected population. The framework has been applied using the global hydrological model PCRGLOBWB, which includes an optional global flood routing model DINroute, combined with scenarios from the integrated model to assess the global environment, image. The framework has been tested in Bangladesh, where it was validated against the Dartmouth flood observatory database. This article was authored by H. C. Wincemias, L. P. H. Van Beek, B.
