Compound weather and climate events describe combinations of multiple climate drivers
and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Although many climate …

Extreme weather and climate events and their impacts can occur in complex combinations,
an interaction shaped by physical drivers and societal forces. In these situations …

River flood risk in Europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and
continued development in flood-prone areas. Here, we appraise the potential of four key …

Our current 1.1 C warmer world is already affecting natural and human systems in Europe
(very high confidence1). Since AR5, there has been a substantial increase in detected or …

An increasing amount of high-resolution global spatial data are available, and used for
various assessments. However, key economic and human development indicators are still …

As a discipline, the science of natural hazards and disaster risk aims to explain the spatial-
temporal pattern, process and mechanism, emergency response and risk mitigation of …

Rising global temperature has put increasing pressure on understanding the linkage
between atmospheric warming and the occurrence of natural hazards. While the Paris …

We use firm-level data that measure forward-looking physical climate risk to examine the
impact of climate risk on capital structure. We find that greater physical climate risk leads to …

Understanding global future river flood risk is a prerequisite for the quantification of climate
change impacts and planning effective adaptation strategies. Existing global flood risk …

Floods are causing increasing havoc in our rapidly urbanizing world, with disproportionally
high impacts on the poorest and most vulnerable. Effective adaptation strategies are …
