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 …

BACKGROUND Climate disasters are on the rise, with devastating effects on communities,
built infrastructure, and ecosystems. Between 2015 and 2020, the United States has seen an …

In all cities and urban areas, the risk faced by people and assets from hazards associated
with climate change has increased (high confidence1). Urban areas are now home to 4.2 …

This paper aims to provide a five-step conceptual framework to analyze the impacts to the
built environment from multi-hazard interactions. Our methodology includes a critical …

Due to increasing population pressure and urbanization, as well as global climate change
impacts, many coastal river deltas are experiencing increased exposure, vulnerability and …

Most research on hydrological risks focuses either on flood risk or drought risk, whilst floods
and droughts are two extremes of the same hydrological cycle. To better design disaster risk …

Since 1990, natural hazards have led to over 1.6 million fatalities globally, and economic
losses are estimated at an average of around USD 260–310 billion per year. The scientific …

In recent decades, a striking number of countries have suffered from consecutive disasters:
events whose impacts overlap both spatially and temporally, while recovery is still under …

This paper presents an overview on the risk assessment approaches for inundation of metro
systems based on regional flood risk assessment methods. Detailed summarization is …

Understanding and modelling future risks from natural hazards is becoming increasingly
crucial as the climate changes, human population grows, asset wealth accumulates, and …
