Journal ArticleDOI
Future climate risk from compound events
Jakob Zscheischler,Seth Westra,Bart van den Hurk,Bart van den Hurk,Sonia I. Seneviratne,Philip J. Ward,Andrew J. Pitman,Amir AghaKouchak,David N. Bresch,David N. Bresch,Michael Leonard,Thomas Wahl,Xuebin Zhang +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a better understanding of compound events may improve projections of potential high-impact events, and can provide a bridge between climate scientists, engineers, social scientists, impact modellers and decision-makers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling European winter wind storm losses in current and future climate
Cornelia Schwierz,Pamela Köllner-Heck,Evelyn Zenklusen Mutter,David N. Bresch,Pier Luigi Vidale,Pier Luigi Vidale,Martin Wild,Christoph Schär +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled approach using output from high-resolution regional climate model scenarios for the European sector to drive an operational insurance loss model is used to provide an estimate of the inherent uncertainties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing the cost effectiveness of nature-based and coastal adaptation: A case study from the Gulf Coast of the United States.
TL;DR: It is shown that investments in nature-based adaptation could meet multiple objectives for environmental restoration, adaptation and flood risk reduction, and that the cost effectiveness of adaptation becomes more attractive as climate change and coastal development intensifies in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a "cohort" perspective to quantify changes in lifetime exposure to climate extremes and compare across generations and found that children born in 2020 will experience a two to sevenfold increase in extreme events, particularly heat waves, compared with people born in 1960, under current climate policy pledges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact Forecasting to Support Emergency Management of Natural Hazards
Bruno Merz,Christian Kuhlicke,Michael Kunz,Massimiliano Pittore,Andrey Babeyko,David N. Bresch,David N. Bresch,Daniela I. V. Domeisen,Frauke Feser,Inga Monika Koszalka,Inga Monika Koszalka,Heidi Kreibich,Florian Pantillon,Florian Pantillon,Stefano Parolai,Joaquim G. Pinto,Heinz Jürgen Punge,Eleonora Rivalta,Kai Schröter,Karen Strehlow,Ralf Weisse,Andreas Wurpts +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the state of the art in impact forecasting for a wide range of natural hazards is presented, and the added value of impact-based warnings compared to hazard forecasting for the emergency phase is discussed.
