Climate change exposure: What is at risk?

Climate change exposure puts human health, natural ecosystems, infrastructure, and economies at risk from both acute and chronic hazards.

Specifically, impacts include increased health issues from extreme weather and pollution, damage to infrastructure.

This is due to events like floods and storms.

It also causes economic losses due to supply chain disruptions and reduced agricultural productivity.

Certain groups, such as the elderly, the very young, and disadvantaged communities, are also more vulnerable to these risks.
