TL;DR: In this paper, a spatio-temporal distribution of deadly landslides is presented for 27 European countries over the last 20 years (1995-2014) and a total of 1370 deaths and 784 injuries were reported resulting from 476 landslides.

TL;DR: In this article, a database of fatalities caused by natural hazard processes in Switzerland was compiled for the period between 1946 and 2015, using information from the Swiss flood and landslide damage database and the Swiss destructive avalanche database, the data set was extended back in time and more hazard processes were added by conducting an in-depth search of newspaper reports.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Swiss flood and landslide damage database to estimate the contribution of fluvial bedload transport processes to total damage costs in Switzerland and showed that the fraction of bed load transport damage in the 40-year study period lies between 0.32 and 0.37.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and analyze experiences from the tropical Andes based on a recent science-policy process on the national and supra-national government level, where a framework for the science contribution in climate adaptation has been developed; it consists of three stages, including (1) the framing and problem definition, (2) the scientific assessment of climate, impacts, vulnerabilities and risks, and (3) the evaluation of adaptation options and their implementation.
