Risk identification and assessment

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of disaster events, with a focus on water-induced disasters and their associated impacts across Nepal for the period 2011–2025.

Monitoring is expensive and labor intensive. But it helps public health officials stop outbreaks.

In this study, the authors introduce the Schroders Capital Insurance-Linked Securities (SCILS) model that leverages projected climate proxies to estimate category-specific North Atlantic landfall rate changes for different global warming levels.

Using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), the study shows that hazardous heat is becoming more frequent, more intense and more widespread, with hotter nights, longer heat stress seasons and increasing numbers of people exposed to hazardous heat.

Heavy precipitation becomes more intense with every degree the Earth warms. This has an impact on flooding.

Already, tropical cyclones are peppering the Pacific and skipping the Atlantic, and U.S. temperatures are topsy-turvy.

Ocean tides push upstream along coastal rivers, in some cases reaching hundreds of kilometers inland. These inland stretches are known as tidal rivers, and they’re the scene of complex interactions between the river current and tidal oscillations.

The manual provides practical guidance for designing and implementing participatory climate risk assessments and locally led adaptation processes.
