Impact of climate change on natural catastrophes today

Duration: 60 minutes

The impact of climate change on the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events is not only projected for the future, it is already increasingly evident in events today. This has strong implications for risk assessment, as the current hazard level for some perils may no longer be adequately represented through historical data alone.

This seminar focuses on the mechanisms through which climate change affects extreme weather around the world. Focus is on the attribution of climate change to relevant natural catastrophes today, with specific examples covering flood and storm perils in Europe and Eastern Asia. An outlook for potential future developments is also provided.

• Latest developments in climate science, specifically in the rapidly growing field of attribution science
• Outlook on the future development of climate-related nat cat risks
• Outlook on future scientific developments in the attribution community
