Climate change is a complex global challenge. The realities of climate risk, including physical impact and transition risk, affect every society and organization, including your own. Limiting global warming to 1.5°C means navigating and delivering on
1 Exposure to future climate change across the world’s cities. Changes (i.e. exposure) in maximum temperature of the warmest month (A), minimum temperature of the coldest month (B), annual precipitation (C), and precipitation of the driest quarter (D) predicted to occur by 2050. Data ...
Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 due to climate change alone under RCP4.5. Ou...
This paper presents a new detailed global quantitative assessment of the economic consequences of climate change (i.e. climate damages) to 2060. The analys
Climate Change Might Increase Satellite Collisions, Limiting How Many Can Safely Orbit Earth, Study Finds Greenhouse gas emissions could reduce drag in the upper atmosphere, leaving more space debris in orbit and making satellites more vulnerable to damage, according to new research March 12, 2025 ...
Climate-Induced MigrationIt is estimated that by 2050, climate change could displace up to 143 million people, leading to climate-induced migration. (World Bank) As we explore the top books on climate change, we encourage readers to bear in mind these statistics, which illustrate the urgency of...
"The trends are clear—sudden-onset disasters are becoming more frequent and intense; disasters are leading to protracted displacement." And the World Bank predicts that unchecked carbon emissions could lead to143 million internal climate migrants by 2050in Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia an...
but 5 degrees is roughly how much difference there is between the world as it is today and as it was during the last Ice Age.[3]In other words, when we came out of the Ice Age,the planet warmed by 5 degrees over about 5000 years. Modern climate change threatens to produce the same...
But climate change is a two-way street for health care organizations. The global health care industry is not only affected by climate change, but is also a significant driver of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing about 4.5% of worldwide, with the US health care system respons...
