Overview

Originally introduced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2012, research on compound events, defined as combinations of multiple drivers and hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risks, has grown with the goal to understand how different weather and climate-related hazards interact, hence improving prediction, assessing impacts on society and the environment, and developing methods for detection and attribution.
