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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
