Climate change poses a global and multi-faceted challenge, threatening the well-being of people, agriculture, water resources, energy, and ecosystems. Understanding the risk posed by climate impacts, existing vulnerabilities, and responses to reduce risk all require an integrated Earth system and human dimension approach that includes insights from both the natural and social sciences. This session solicits interdisciplinary climate research, case studies, and implementations of adaptation and risk management approaches that bridge the human-natural systems divide. Topics can include but are not limited to integration of social science and Earth observations, forecast-based financing, impact-based efforts, and building science-based approaches towards risk management and actions to increase resilience.
