Extreme heat, drought and moisture excess are increasingly co-occurring within a single
growing season, impacting crop yields in global breadbasket regions. In this Review, we …

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 …

Recent climate extremes have broken long-standing records by large margins. Such
extremes unprecedented in the observational period often have substantial impacts due to a …

Simultaneous harvest failures across major crop-producing regions are a threat to global
food security. Concurrent weather extremes driven by a strongly meandering jet stream …

Real-world experience underscores the complexity of interactions among multiple drivers of
climate change risk and of how multiple risks compound or cascade. However, a holistic …

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 …

Rising air temperatures are a leading risk to global crop production. Recent research has
emphasized the critical role of moisture availability in regulating crop responses to heat and …

Compound droughts and hot events or extremes (CDHEs) may lead to larger repercussions
than do individual extremes. Due to the disastrous impacts and increased risk of these …

The current trajectory for crop yields is insufficient to nourish the world's population by 2050.
Greater and more consistent crop production must be achieved against a backdrop of …
