Efforts to meaningfully quantify the changes in coastal compound surge- and rainfall -driven flooding hazard associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) and extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in a warming climate have increased in recent years. Despite substantial ...
Glacial outwash plains are developing fast in the Arctic, a region which warms two to four times faster than the global average. These new landscapes are climate relevant. They can be sources and sinks of greenhouse gas fluxes and they expose large amounts ...
Building climate risk assessment involves benchmarking a building's energy use intensity against decarbonisation pathways to mitigate the impacts on climate change. Various climate risk assessment tools and frameworks are used for commercial buildings in d ...
Polar sciences are crucial to understand the effects of climate change. 6 out of 9 eco-tipping points identified by the IPCC are situated in the polar regions. Potential rising sea levels, altered weather patterns and changes in sea-currents are all connec ...
People spend around 90 percent of their time indoors (home, oce, transportation) in developed countries [1]. This means a long exposure to indoor conditions that have higher concentrations of pollutants compared to outdoors. This exposure can aect the well ...
This perspective paper explores the rising impacts of the COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war from different perspectives, with an emphasis on the role of climate financing in achieving equitable and just transition mechanisms and that of peace in expediti ...
In fall 2019, a new set of climate change scenarios has been released for Switzerland, the CH2018 dataset (www.climate-scenarios.ch). The data areprovided at daily resolution. We produced from the CH2018 dataset a new set of climate change scenarios tempor ...
While carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warming, modeling short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) such as methane, ozone, and particles in the Arctic allows us to simulate near-term climate and health impacts for a sensitive, pristine region that is ...
A tighter integration of modeling frameworks for climate and air quality is urgently needed to assess the impacts of clean air policies on future Arctic and global climate. We combined a new model emulator and comprehensive emissions scenarios for air poll ...
European energy policies are aimed at increasing the climate resilience of infrastructure, including new and existing buildings. The implications of future ambient conditions on the energy and environmental performance in buildings and respective adaptatio ...
