Since 1980, the number of climate-related disasters has been
greatly increased globally. Scientific consensus based on the IPCC
fifth report suggested that global warming would bring more intense
and frequent extreme climate events. These climate-related
disasters hinder the achievement of sustainable economic growth and
prosperity by disrupting supply chains, impeding production,
destroying infrastructure, and necessitating high-cost rebuilding
and recovery. To mitigate the climate extreme risks and possible
losses, it is essential to maximize the utilization of scientific
outputs and to share best practices in disaster risk management.
Aligned with such purposes, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) Climate Center (APCC) hosts the APEC Climate Symposium
(APCS) every year. APCS focused on drought prediction and
management in 2013, climate extremes and hydrological disaster in
2014, and efficient use of climate information for disaster risk
management in 2015.This book aims to compile some of the important
results from the latest research in climate extreme prediction and
services and its application studies with a focus on climate
extremes such as typhoons, droughts, and floods based on the APCS
presentations during 2013-2015.
