Climate extremes often imply significant impacts on human and
natural systems, and these extreme events are anticipated to be
among the potentially most harmful consequences of a changing
climate. However, while extreme event impacts are increasingly
recognized, methodologies to address such impacts and the degree of
our understanding and prediction capabilities vary widely among
different sectors and disciplines. Moreover, traditional climate
extreme indices and large-scale multi-model intercomparisons that
are used for future projections of extreme events and associated
impacts often fall short in capturing the full complexity of impact
systems. Climate Extremes and Their Implications for Impact and
Risk Assessment describes challenges, opportunities and
methodologies for the analysis of the impacts of climate extremes
across various sectors to support their impact and risk assessment.
It thereby also facilitates cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary
discussions and exchange among climate and impact scientists. The
sectors covered include agriculture, terrestrial ecosystems, human
health, transport, conflict, and more broadly covering the
human-environment nexus. The book concludes with an outlook on the
need for more transdisciplinary work and international
collaboration between scientists and practitioners to address
emergent risks and extreme events towards risk reduction and
strengthened societal resilience.
