Visualizing the interconnections among climate risks

(National Institute for Environmental Studies) Climate change affects multiple sectors in virtually every part of the world. Impacts on one sector may influence other sectors, which we call 'interconnections of climate risks'. Our easy-to-understand risk maps and flowcharts show how changes in climate impact natural and socio-economic systems, ultimately affecting human security, health, and well-being. Our methodology can be used as a communication tool to inform decision makers, stakeholders, and the public about the cascading risks triggered by climate change.
