Climate extremes threaten human health, economic stability, and the well-being of natural and built environments (eg, 2003 European heat wave). As the world continues to warm …
Caption: Table A. 11. 2. Synthesis table summarising assessments presented in Tables 11.4- 11.21 for hot extremes (HOT EXT.), heavy precipitation (HEAVY PRECIP.), agriculture and …
Approximately 10 years ago, convection‐permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs) emerged as a promising computationally affordable tool to produce fine resolution (1–4 km) …
Globally, flood risk is projected to increase in the future due to climate change and population growth. Here, we quantify the role of dams in flood mitigation, previously …
Extreme weather increases the risk of large-scale crop failure. The mechanisms involved are complex and intertwined, hence undermining the identification of simple adaptation levers to …
Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …
Increasing drought and extreme rainfall are major threats to maize production in the United States. However, compared to drought impact, the impact of excessive rainfall on crop yield …

River floods are among some of the costliest natural disasters, but their socio-economic impacts under contrasting warming levels remain little explored. Here, using a multi-model …
As climate change research becomes increasingly applied, the need for actionable information is growing rapidly. A key aspect of this requirement is the representation of …
