The global status report for buildings and construction provides an annual snapshot of the sector's progress globally.

This study aims to produce structured storylines and knowledge graphs for over 3,000 global disaster events by processing news articles through a RAG pipeline combining the power of LLMs for text generation and the semantic extraction of factual knowledge

This study investigates whether empowering women can reduce climate vulnerability, and enhance nations’ resilience, readiness and adaptability to climate change.

This paper estimates the global population at high risk of climate-related hazards by combining household-level vulnerability data with local exposure to four types of events: agricultural droughts in rural areas, floods, heatwaves, and cyclones.

As climate shocks escalate in frequency and severity across Eastern Africa, the chronic reliance on post-disaster emergency aid is proving too slow, too costly, and too inadequate to protect the region's most vulnerable communities.

Extreme weather is already shaping financial outcomes across the real economy.

Using a new global bilateral trade model representing 177 countries and four major staple crops (maize, wheat, rice, soybean), the authors simulate the food supply, trade and price impacts resulting from climate-related yield variability, and shocks

Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are interdependent and, thus, vulnerable to scenarios of cascading effects initiated by natural hazardous events such as flooding, windstorms, and heat waves, which can lead to partial or complete inoperability.
