Are cities taking action against urban overheating? Insights from over 7,500 local climate actions
Mitigating urban overheating is vital to create livable urban futures. Research on urban heat mitigation is plentiful, while knowledge about the actual measures local governments are implementing is limited. This study examines 7,500+ heat mitigation actions by 2,500+ cities under two flagship programs of the European Commission. The analysis reveals that cities’ strategies pivot around green- and water-based technologies (66% of the actions) whi…
Will the Paris Agreement protect us from hydro-meteorological extremes?’
Multi-hazard assessment is needed to understand compound risk. Yet, modelling of multiple climate hazards has been limitedly applied at the global scale to date. Here we provide a first comprehensive assessment of global population exposure to hydro-meteorological extremes—floods, drought and heatwaves—under different temperature increase targets. This study shows how limiting temperature increase to 1.5 and 2 °C, as for the goals of the Paris Ag…
Global projections of river flood risk in a warmer world
Rising global temperature has put increasing pressure on understanding the linkage between atmospheric warming and the occurrence of natural hazards. While the Paris Agreement has set the ambitious target to limiting global warming to 1.5°C compared to preindustrial levels, scientists are urged to explore scenarios for different warming thresholds and quantify ranges of socioeconomic impact. In this work, we present a framework to estimate the ec…
Mapping global patterns of drought risk
A global map of drought risk has been elaborated at the sub-national administrative level. The motivation for this study is the observation that little research and no concerted efforts have been made at the global level to provide a consistent and equitable drought risk management framework for multiple regions, population groups and economic sectors. Drought risk is assessed for the period 2000-2014 and is based on the product of three independ…
Assessment of drought damages and their uncertainties in Europe
Drought is a natural hazard triggered by a lack of precipitation that can last for several months or years. Droughts can affect a wide range of socio-economic sectors while the related direct and indirect impacts are often difficult to quantify. In this context, drought damage refers to the total or partial destruction of physical assets in the affected area. The main constraint in constructing a robust relationship between the severity of drough…
