Abstract Climatic extremes have historically been seen as univariate; however, recent international reports highlighted the potential for an increase in compound climate events (e.g., hot and dry events, recurrent flooding). Despite projected frequency of adoption event terminology, few studies identify little evidence exists on societal impacts these events. This scoping review summarizes key findings knowledge gaps current state empirical that focus We identified 28 eligible published four databases reporting sectors: agriculture, public health, built environment, land use. Overall, we found need more research explicitly linking to impacts, particularly across multiple rather than single case study also noted several findings, including changes agricultural productivity, loss habitat, increased fire risk, poor mental health outcomes, decreased care access, destruction homes infrastructure from Additional is needed both globally locally understand implications different geographic regions populations ensure responsive adaptation policies a framework.

Abstract The co‐occurrence of multiple hazards is growing concern globally as the frequency and magnitude extreme climate events increases. Despite studies examining spatial distribution such events, there has been little work in if all relevant life threatening damaging are captured existing hazard databases by common metrics. For example, local/regional flash flooding seldom optical satellite instruments subsequently excluded from global databases. Similarly, heat definitions most frequently used multi‐hazard inherently fail to capture that life‐threatening but climatologically within an expected range. Our goal determine potential for increasing event detection capabilities inferring additional footprints widely accessible data. We use daily precipitation temperature data develop open‐source framework infers not included traditional methods. With state Texas our study area, we detected 2.5 times many flood hazards, equivalent $320 million property crop damages. Furthermore, expanded definition increases impacted area 56.6%, 91.5 over 18 year period. Increasing expanding using temporal resolutions at which detected. Having more complete sets extents improves ability track trends accurately exposure inequities.

Abstract With intensifying weaponized conflicts and authoritarian tendencies across countries, geopolitical risks related to critical infrastructure (CI) have increased. However, views on what exactly constitutes CI, are associated with it, especially when control of it is ceded foreign operators, strategies best suited manage these make CI more resilient, vary widely among experts in the field governments institutions concerned protection resilience. This paper compares existing concepts approaches adopted scientific work major developed economies identify focusing aspects It eventually postulates that a comprehensive coherent framework needed address underlying (geopolitical) thus achieve resilient systems. Especially European Union, active systematic dialog required enhance common understanding infrastructures, their sectoral transboundary interdependences role resilience therein. Failing do so context tensions could turn new mantra “de-risking” into an empty phase.

Abstract. We live in a rapidly changing and globalized society. The increasing interdependence interconnection of our economic, social technical systems; growing urbanization; vulnerability to natural hazards (including climate change) are leading ever more complex risk situations. This paper presents conceptual approach for user-centred multi-risk assessment aimed support potential users like disaster managers, urban planners or critical infrastructure operators. Based on the latest scientific capabilities, we developed method that enables simulation visualization range scenarios with different intensities. It is based modular decentralized system architecture using distributed web services published online, including user-friendly interface. demonstrated example earthquakes tsunamis Lima metropolitan area (Peru), megacity exposed various cascading hazards. development involved wider group Peruvian stakeholders from research practice structured, iterative participative feedback process over period 2.5 years capture needs requirements user perspective. Results process, 94 responses 5 questionnaires, confirmed demonstrator as complementary analysis tool. Together processes, ability simulate compare varying severity was considered relevant useful improving understanding preparedness situations, practical applications, especially at local level.
