MultiSector Dynamics: Extreme Weather and Society

Session ID#: 159417

Session Description:
Extreme weather like droughts, extreme temperatures, heavy precipitation and Roods, cyclones wildfires have major impacts on society and the environment that include health issues, economic losses, infrastructure damage, and loss of ecosystem services. These multifarious impacts involve complex dynamics across multiple sectors and spatial and temporal scales, connecting global markets to local communities, and multiple dimensions of social inequalities that result in differentiated exposure, vulnerability, responses and recovery. In a warming climate, the intensity and frequency of weather extremes, including compound events, are projected to change and thereby increase the risks for long-lived cascading societal and environmental effects.

This session seeks to bring together interdisciplinary studies that advance our understanding of extreme weather, their projected changes under a warming world and their impacts on the society. Studies exploring the role of extreme weather as stressors of the local to global human-Earth system and the associated multiscale multisector dynamics are particularly welcomed.
