Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

This chapter assesses simulations of future global climate change, spanning time horizons
from the near term (2021–2040), mid-term (2041–2060), and long term (2081–2100) out to …

Under continued global warming, extreme events such as heat waves will continue to rise in
frequency, intensity, duration, and spatial extent over the next decades (–). Younger …

Increased extreme heat is among the clearest impacts of global warming, but the economic
effects of heat waves are poorly understood. Using subnational economic data, extreme …

Droughts that exceed the magnitudes of historical variation ranges could occur increasingly
frequently under future climate conditions. However, the time of the emergence of …

Working Group I (WGI) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assesses
the current evidence on the physical science of climate change, evaluating knowledge …

Understanding the causes of economic inequality is critical for achieving equitable
economic development. To investigate whether global warming has affected the recent …

Climate warming disproportionately impacts countries in the Global South by increasing
extreme heat exposure. However, geographic disparities in adaptation capacity are unclear …

Severe, extreme, and exceptional heat waves, such as those that occurred over the Balkans
(2007), France (2003), or Russia (2010), are associated with increased mortality, human …
