Abstract Non-technical summary We identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences: (1) looming inevitability implications overshooting the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) urgent need for rapid managed fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges scaling carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding future contribution sinks, (5) intertwinedness crises biodiversity loss change, (6) compound events, (7) mountain...
Urban areas are mostly highly sealed spaces, which often leads to large proportions of surface runoff. At the same time, heavy rainfall events projected increase in frequency and intensity with anthropogenic climate change. Consequently, higher risks damages from pluvial flooding expected. The analysis Flood Regulating Ecosystem Services (FRES) can help determine benefits nature people by reducing runoff peaks. However, urban FRES rarely studied for under changing conditions. Therefore, we...
Abstract There is a pressing need for transformative change, with vision of long-term human well-being within planetary boundaries. The lack progress—despite increasing awareness and action—illustrates how challenging it to foster change in our complex global society. Education learning are needed enable change. Transdisciplinary learning, which meaningfully integrates diverse knowledge perspectives, contributes developing an integrative understanding—a necessity tackling challenges. We...
Increasing urbanisation in combination with a rise the frequency and intensity of heavy rain events increase risk urban flooding. Flood Regulating Ecosystem Services (FRES) address capacity ecosystems to reduce flood hazard lower damage. FRES can be estimated by quantification supply (provision service an ecosystem) demand (need for specific ES society). However, pluvial floods cities have rarely been studied there is gap research methods on quantification. In this study, we assessed...
Hydrological modeling is commonly used in urban areas for drainage design and to estimate pluvial flood hazards order mitigate risks damages. In general, modelers choose well-known proven models, which are tailored represent the runoff generation of impervious surface runoff. However, interception other vegetation-related processes usually simplified or neglected models predict flooding areas. this study, we test calibrate hydrological model LEAFlood (Landscape vEgetAtion-dependent Flood...
The concept of ecosystem service (ES) identifies benefits that people obtain from ecosystems with contributions to human well-being. One important ES under external pressure is “flood regulation” describes an ecosystem’s capacity reduce flood hazards. Several related studies estimate current regulation ES. However, regional climate projections indicate a shift in precipitation patterns. Therefore, Climate and land use changes make it necessary assess future supply order test functionality...
<p>Extreme weather events, failure of climate-change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity loss ecosystem collapse are some the main global risks. Climate change is one major drivers for as well higher frequency intensity natural disasters extreme events. Consequently, health provision services (ES) affected by increasing pressures.</p><p>However, ecosystems must be ensured in order to guarantee maintain human well-being. To define benefits that...
<p>Immer häufiger sind Starkniederschläge Ursache für Überflutungen im urbanen Raum. Regionale Klimaprojektionen zeigen eine Zunahme der Häufigkeit und Intensität in Zukunft einigen Regionen Deutschlands. Um Flutschäden Bereichen vermeiden zu können, bedarf es einer nachhaltigen klimawandeltauglichen Stadtentwicklung, bei flutregulierende Ausgleichsflächen...
