Exposure
Vulnerability
Nature and severity of event
Losses from climate-related disasters
Economic losseshave increased Increasing exposure is major cause
Fatalities are higher in developing countries

Observed and projected changes in weather and climate extremes
Heat
Heavy precipitation
Drought
Storm surge
