Quantifying loss and damage from compound climate risk
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174493
Abstract
Recent analyses of multi-hazard attribution studies reveal that compound climate extremes often lead to disproportionately high levels of loss and damage. However, significant losses from single extreme events—sometimes exceeding those from compound events—cannot be overlooked. This highlights a critical limitation: traditional univariate analyses of extremes may underestimate the full extent of loss and damage. This Working Paper…
