Furthermore, due to the climate changes caused by global heating, the risks of floods and coastal erosion in the territory of Riga city are still growing.Considering the geographical, hydro-geological and climate situation of Riga, the following three main types of natural causes of river flood can be distinguished:1. River flood caused by strong wind.2. Spring river flood.3. Flood caused by intense rainfall and rising groundwater level.In the case of strong northwest storms more often are flooded Rutku island, Mangaļu peninsula, the right bank of Daugava, Daugavgrīva, Bolderāja, areas from Krievu island to Krēmeri un Voleri, Lucavsala island, partly the right bank of Zakusala island as well as other relatively low urban areas.The city of Riga may be threatened by a combination of several causes of flooding, i.e. increased flooding can be caused by a sea surge caused by a storm in combination with a relatively large flow rate in the Daugava. The threat of complex sea storms and spring flooding is present not only in the areas adjacent to the Daugava, but also in the system of branches and lakes – Ķīšezers and Juglas lakes.In the city of Riga, the territories that are threatened by probable floods were identified and which need to be protected due to the inhabitants, cultural and historical values, economic activities, planned development of the territory and historical environmental pollution. Territorial estimation was carried out for the near future climate change scenario, for the period 2021-2050 with a probability of 1% repetition of floods or once every 100 years, and 8 flooding areas that need to be protected from flooding were identified:1. Around the river Buļļupe (Vakarbuļļi, Rītabuļļi, Daugavgrīva, Bolderāja).2. Around Vecdaugava.3. Around Hapaka ditch and Beķera ditch (Krēmeri, Voleri, Spilve).4. Around Ķīšezers lake, Juglas canal, Juglas lake and Baltezers lake.5. Around Sarkandaugava.6. Around Zunda canal (Ķīpsala, Klīversala, Mārupītes downhill).7. Around Bieķen ditch (Mūkusala, Bieķen island, Lucavsala island).8. Around Krasta Street from Salu bridge to Dienvidu (South) bridge.

The decline has been steepest in end-user fuel consumption (46,9% as compared to 2010), especially in the industrial sector. The second larger decrease in emissions has been in the district heating system.- In the other sectors (electrical power consumption and motor vehicles) the changes in emissions between 2010 and 2014 have been but negligible.- Most of the emissions in 2014 come from motor vehicles (40%) and heat consumption in the district heating supply system (29%); whereas the rest of the emissions come from fuel consumption in different consumer sectors (17%) and electrical power consumption (14%).Analysis of CO2 emissions in Riga by emission flow and source leads to conclude that there are four main sources of CO2 emissions: the district heating system, consumption of gas in the end-user sectors, fuel consumption by motor vehicles and electrical power consumption.
