Latest extreme heat additions in the Knowledge Base

Heatwaves over land worldwide are beginning earlier, ending later, and occurring over longer seasons, while the first heatwave of the season has recently shifted toward faster onset, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change.

This white paper analyzes the growing compound risks of heat and water stress using climate models, industry data, and case studies, urging forward-looking risk integration and investment in water efficiency amid rising global wet-bulb temperatures.

This NDMA guide integrates psychosocial support into disaster management in Pakistan, emphasizing that early, inclusive PSS is key for mental health, resilience, and recovery—advocating MHPSS as central to sustainable development, not a stand-alone add-on

A new survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center finds that the majority of Americans believe climate change is increasing the risk of respiratory diseases and heat- and insect-related illnesses.

This paper uses a generative machine-learning model to show strong evidence that global emissions since the 2015 Paris Agreement intensified Europe's recent heat extremes, including the high-impact June 2025 heatwave.

This summer in Europe we are witnessing extreme heat for a prolonged period of time. This is a direct product of climate change. In this insight, we assess the impact, both in terms of GDP and wellbeing.

Study reveals a hidden problem: Temperature proxies used in many climate-impact studies can contain substantial measurement error, leading to misestimation of true impacts of temperature and, potentially understate climate impacts by at least 15%.

This report assesses how climate change is reshaping human security in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, examining risks to food, water, energy, livelihoods and mobility, and calling for integrated, regional and systemic adaptation responses.
