DESCRIPTION:Sonia Seneviratne\, ETH Zurich\n"State of the climate crisis: 
 Conclusions from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPC
 C) reports"\nSonia I. Seneviratne\, ETH Zurich\n\nThis presentation will p
 rovide an overview of the main conclusions of the latest reports from the 
 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published in its 6th assessment 
 cycle. In particular\, the latest evidence on past and projected changes i
 n climate extremes will be presented. For the first time\, a full chapter 
 of an IPCC assessment report was dedicated to the topic of weather and cli
 mate extremes (Seneviratne et al. 2021). The newest evidence shows that ch
 anges in extremes are observed in all regions of the world\, and that huma
 n influence strongly contributed to observed trends. With every increment 
 of global warming\, changes in extremes become larger\, with important imp
 lications for changes in heatwaves\, heavy precipitation\, droughts\, and 
 tropical cyclones depending on the region. All regions are projected to be
  affected by multiple changes in climate extremes and other climatic impac
 t drivers with increasing global warming\, in particular above 2°C of glo
 bal warming.\n\n\nProgram\n \n5:00 pm  Welcome address\nMartin Vetterli\
