Good news: Global vulnerability to climate-related hazards is decreasing, so far.
The pace of smashing extreme temperature records is increasing
So far, intertidal flats in the Wadden Sea can easily keep up with sea-level rise
Observed loss of carbon in thawing Alaskan permafrost faster than previously thought
Does climate change already affect armed conflicts?

Climate change will affect biodiversity, regardless of the Paris Agreement
Heat will be a much larger health threat in Europe’s near future
Global warming will increase damage of river flooding to European railways
Global warming may increase destructive potential of hurricanes in the Mediterranean
Key role of human factors in Mediterranean fire regimes
Climate extremes have a strong impact on global agricultural yields
Extreme coastal water levels much higher due to combination of storm

Sea level rise in 2100 could exceed 2 m, experts conclude
Areas in which nearby rivers flood at the same time are increasing in size
Marine heat waves threaten global biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services
Droughts in the soil increase much less than droughts at the earth surface
Ocean warming already decreased global marine fisheries production
Currently, melting glaciers contribute almost 30 per cent to observed sea level rise
