Mobilities Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events 2 by Celine Lutoff,Severine Durand Pdf

Mobilities Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events 2 covers our need to understand how the interaction of hydro-meteorological, social and development dynamics combine to bring improvement to or a worsening of both mobile and immobile exposure. The book provides a summary of the interdisciplinary work done over the past ten years. Residential mobility—the way in which the occupation of flood zones evolves over time—and its resulting immobile exposure are also at the heart of this work. In addition, the book explores how climate change and its relation to fast floods in various regions of the world, especially the Mediterranean, is creating extreme events. Provides a comprehensive understanding of residential and daily mobilities in extreme hydrometeorological situations Updates on mobility adaptation cycles in the face of extreme hydro-meteorological events

Mobility in the Face of Extreme Hydrometeorological Events 1 by Celine Lutoff,Severine Durand Pdf

Mobilities Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events 1: Defining the Relevant Scales of Analysis provides a summary of the interdisciplinary work done over the past ten years on the exposure of daily mobility. Residential mobility, the way in which the occupation of the flood zones evolves with time, and the resulting immobile exposure are also at the heart of this work. In the face of recrudescence and the intensification of fast floods, the book seeks to understand how the interaction of hydro-meteorological, social and development dynamics combine to bring about an improvement or, on the contrary, a worsening of both mobile and immobile exposure. The book relies on different fields and studies conducted in the South East of France and more broadly on the Mediterranean basin to answer these questions and verify these hypotheses, with a forward challenge to better understand how population movements are exposed to these phenomena. Provides a synthesis of interdisciplinary work on the exposure of daily mobilities Establishes a diagram of the evolution of the flood zones and the immobile exposure Finds the cause and effect of these phenomena Conducts studies to answer these questions and verify these hypotheses

Hydrometeorological Extreme Events and Public Health by Franziska Matthies,Ph Quevauviller Pdf

"Since early 2020 due to Covid-19 the world has faced its most serious health crisis for a century with an enormous toll on human life together with severe effects on the health of the population and strains on health systems as well as on socio-economic well-being . More than 18 months since the first cases, the risks of the pandemic are still high. This health crisis has been a stark reminder of the dangers of insufficient preparation as most countries throughout the world were clearly not ready to face such a crisis and much of the response certainly at the early stage was ad hoc. At the same time COVID-19 is a 'simple' crisis compared to the climate crisis, which is the most complex and intractable problem facing humankind. While recovery from Covid is a major challenge for the whole world and will take years there are clear solutions in particular through vaccination of a very large share of the population. These solutions are backed by a strong consensus at both policy and scientific levels which, however, is not the case for climate change. Meanwhile the health threats due to climate change are increasing. The last decade was the hottest on record with eight of the hottest years ever recorded. The health consequences of these increased temperatures include death and injury from extreme precipitation, tropical cyclones, heatwaves, floods, forest fires as well as storm surges .The world can also expect the emergence and spread of infectious diseases and allergens linked to geographical shifts in vectors and pathogens. There will be additional challenges for the capacities of health systems due for example to the spread of previously unknown diseases from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere. This book is a timely publication to contribute to science and policy debates as we emerge from the Covid crisis and also as scientific input to underpin the upcoming COP26 deliberations and decisions. 2021 sees a new worldwide political impetus to reinforce climate action in support of health post Covid building on the strong health provisions of the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change as well as the 2015 Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The COP26 in Glasgow November 2021 is planned as a major milestone for agreement on increased action. Already in April 2021 at the high level summit to prepare COP26 a number of countries made renewed and updated pledges. Health and security also featured at the summit - countries aim to scale up locally led solutions to climate vulnerability. Furthermore, in Europe new policy developments in the EU aim to reinforce action to address the health challenge brought by climate change: a new climate adaptation strategy launched in February 2021 proposes reinforced action to better understand climate related risks to health and to increase capacity to reduce these risks. In addition, the revised Union Civil Protection Mechanism of May 2021 reinforces civil protection actions to help address climate change as well as health emergencies"--

Remote Sensing of Hydrometeorological Hazards by George P. Petropoulos,Tanvir Islam Pdf

Extreme weather and climate change aggravate the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Facing atypical and more severe events, existing early warning and response systems become inadequate both in scale and scope. Earth Observation (EO) provides today information at global, regional and even basin scales related to agrometeorological hazards. This book focuses on drought, flood, frost, landslides, and storms/cyclones and covers different applications of EO data used from prediction to mapping damages as well as recovery for each category. It explains the added value of EO technology in comparison with conventional techniques applied today through many case studies.

Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate,Committee on Extreme Weather Events and Climate Change Attribution Pdf

As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in extreme events, and some of the reasons for the changes are well understood. Warming increases the likelihood of extremely hot days and nights, favors increased atmospheric moisture that may result in more frequent heavy rainfall and snowfall, and leads to evaporation that can exacerbate droughts. Even with evidence of these broad trends, scientists cautioned in the past that individual weather events couldn't be attributed to climate change. Now, with advances in understanding the climate science behind extreme events and the science of extreme event attribution, such blanket statements may not be accurate. The relatively young science of extreme event attribution seeks to tease out the influence of human-cause climate change from other factors, such as natural sources of variability like El Niño, as contributors to individual extreme events. Event attribution can answer questions about how much climate change influenced the probability or intensity of a specific type of weather event. As event attribution capabilities improve, they could help inform choices about assessing and managing risk, and in guiding climate adaptation strategies. This report examines the current state of science of extreme weather attribution, and identifies ways to move the science forward to improve attribution capabilities.

Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation by Christopher B. Field,Vicente Barros,Thomas F. Stocker,Qin Dahe Pdf

This Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report (IPCC-SREX) explores the challenge of understanding and managing the risks of climate extremes to advance climate change adaptation. Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters. Changes in the frequency and severity of the physical events affect disaster risk, but so do the spatially diverse and temporally dynamic patterns of exposure and vulnerability. Some types of extreme weather and climate events have increased in frequency or magnitude, but populations and assets at risk have also increased, with consequences for disaster risk. Opportunities for managing risks of weather- and climate-related disasters exist or can be developed at any scale, local to international. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, SREX is an invaluable assessment for anyone interested in climate extremes, environmental disasters and adaptation to climate change, including policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.
