Managing the risks of extreme events and disasters to advance climate change adaptation. Special report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
TLDR
In this paper, a special report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) has been jointly coordinated by Working Groups I (WGI) and II (WGII) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).Abstract:
This Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) has been jointly coordinated by Working Groups I (WGI) and II (WGII) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The report focuses on the relationship between climate change and extreme weather and climate events, the impacts of such events, and the strategies to manage the associated risks. This Special Report, in particular, contributes to frame the challenge of dealing with extreme weather and climate events as an issue in decision making under uncertainty, analyzing response in the context of risk management. The report consists of nine chapters, covering risk management; observed and projected changes in extreme weather and climate events; exposure and vulnerability to as well as losses resulting from such events; adaptation options from the local to the international scale; the role of sustainable development in modulating risks; and insights from specific case studies.

Recent trends of extreme temperature indices for the Iberian Peninsula
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a high resolution downscaling simulation to evaluate recent trends of extreme temperature indices, using the Theil-Sen method for a set of temperature indexes defined by the Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI).

Weather and mortality: a 10 year retrospective analysis of the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System, Burkina Faso
TL;DR: Mortality patterns in the Nouna HDSS appear to be closely related to weather conditions, and the short-term direct heat effect was particularly strong on the under-five child mortality rate.

Looking under the hood of local adaptation plans: shedding light on the actions prioritized to build local resilience to climate change
Missy Stults,Sierra C. Woodruff +1 more
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the content of 43 stand alone climate adaptation plans from US local communities to identify the types of actions proposed and how those actions compare to what researchers indicate the communities should be prioritizing based on regional climate projections.

Management options for dairy farms under climate change: Effects of intensification, adaptation and simplification on pastures, milk production and profitability
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how climate change to 2040 influences pasture growth rates, grazed pasture harvested (PH) and profitability of three case study (baseline) farms in southern Australia.

TL;DR: The long-term relationship between temperature and hydroclimate has remained uncertain due to the short length of instrumental measurements and inconsistent results from climate model simulations as discussed by the authors. But the relationship between temperatures and hydrology has been shown to be relatively stable.
