The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC) have predicted that Small Island Developing States (SIDS) will be beset with increasin
Clearly,heat wavesrepresent an urgent public health crisis as climate change increases exposure to deadly heat. This leaves communities with two imperatives: 1) curbing the fossil fuel emissions escalating the underlying climate change, and 2) adapting to minimize harm from the extreme heat already e...
Melting airport runways, crop failures and lower economic output are likely to become commonplace with more frequent heat waves.
Anthropogenic warming has exacerbated atmospheric heatwaves globally, yet the transboundary migration of heatwaves between land and ocean, along with the anthropogenic influence on this process, remain unclear. Here, we employ a Lagrangian tracking appro
The most common definition for a heat wave is given by exceeding the trigger, or threshold, for maximum and/or minimum temperatures. Future scenarios of climate change state that heat waves will become more intense and frequent. Due to this, the implementation of prevention plans to reduce the...
Heatwaves and droughts pose a risk to human life and cause huge losses. The IPCC expects them to increase in many regions as a result of climate change.
Evidence shows a continuing increase in the frequency and severity of global heatwaves1,2, raising concerns about the future impacts of climate change and the associated socioeconomic costs3,4. Here we develop a disaster footprint analytical framework by
Climate change makes record-breaking heatwaves in northwest India and Pakistan 100 times more likely, a Met Office study finds.英国气象局的一项研究发现，气候变化导致印度西北部和巴基斯坦的破纪录高温天气的发生频率增加了100倍。The region should now expect a heatwave that exceeds the record temperatures ...
GUIYANG, July 8 (Xinhua) -- As rare heatwaves grill China, an ongoing global forum themed on ecological civilization in southwest China's Guizhou Province became all the more relevant as parts of its discussions are dedicated to climate change. ...
Extreme heat undermines the working capacity of individuals, resulting in lower productivity, and thus economic output. Here we analyse the present and future economic damages due to reduced labour productivity caused by extreme heat in Europe. For the analysis of current impacts, we focused on hea...
