Coastal regions are the most vulnerable to many kinds of extreme weather events.

Projections indicate that extreme weather events will become more common in the future.

Consider what the IPCC had to say about extreme weather events such as intense hurricanes.

But, before millions of people are submerged, many will be struck by extreme weather events.

This has led to an increase in the number and severity of extreme weather events.

Changing weather patterns and the increasing magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events will require substantial investments if farmers are to adapt successfully.

Expressing its deep concern at the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and associated natural disasters,

This increases the likelihood of extreme weather events, like Russia s heat wave and Pakistan s floods in 2010, which affected millions of people.

Such catastrophic events underscore the vulnerability of coastal regions worldwide to extreme weather events that produce intense storm surges (increased water depth at the coast) and large, powerful waves.

Taking into account the fact that extreme weather events and associated natural disasters and their reduction must be dealt with in a coherent manner,

Taking into account that extreme weather events and associated natural disasters and their reduction must be dealt with in a coherent and effective manner,

Extreme weather events such as hurricanes and typhoons are likely to increase. Flooding in Europe is likely to intensify, a process that may already have begun.

We do not know whether superstorms like Sandy are harbingers of a new normal in the uneasy and unpredictable relationship between climate change and extreme weather events.

Even if we limit the rise in global temperatures, climate change is here to stay. Communities are already facing more extreme and frequent droughts, floods, and other weather events.

Global warming is set to put potable water supplies under increasing strain even as oceans rise and the intensity and frequency of storms and other extreme weather events increase.

They recognized the dramatic implications that even this amount of warming would have for sea levels, freshwater supplies, agriculture, extreme weather events, public health, and the planet s flora and fauna.

And also, as an increase in extreme weather events due to climate change, they're expecting more waves to come in over the fringing reef, which will contaminate their fresh water supply.

NEW YORK The hurricane on America s eastern seaboard last week (which I experienced in lower Manhattan) adds to a growing collection of extreme weather events from which lessons should be drawn.

So, when unprecedented extreme weather events occur, the prime suspect is naturally the biggest atmospheric change that has happened over the past hundred years one that has been caused by human emissions.

These higher temperatures could cause the extinction of numerous plants and animals, melting of polar ice caps, and a greater frequency of extreme weather events, such as severe storms, floods, and droughts.

With the increasing pattern of internal, rather than international, armed conflicts, and the rising regularity of extreme weather events affecting millions of people, internal displacement poses an even greater challenge to future generations.

Moreover, the four assessment reports that the IPCC has so far produced have allowed a better understanding of the threat posed by climate change in terms of extreme weather events and natural disasters.

Many researchers believe that the threat to life and property from NEOs, when averaged over long periods, is comparable to that from more familiar natural hazards such as earthquakes and extreme weather events.

Noting the need for international cooperation to increase the capacity of countries to respond to the negative impacts of all natural hazards, including extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, particularly in developing countries,

Expressing deep concern at the increasing negative impact of severe natural hazards, including earthquakes, extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, which continues to hinder social and economic progress, in particular in developing countries,

The world will need more cooperation in the coming years, as climate change begins to interact with and exacerbate extreme weather events, in order to gain the lead time needed to prepare for disasters.

Weather related events are a major cause of price volatility on agricultural markets.

Examples of relevant processes Weather events influence biological processes on short time scales.

Expressing its deep concern also at the enormous negative impact of severe natural hazards, including extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, which continues to hinder social and economic progress, in particular in developing countries,

Noting the need for international cooperation to increase the capacity of countries to respond to the negative impacts of all natural hazards, including earthquakes, extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, particularly in developing countries,

Because of recent extreme weather events, the draft attempted to reflect the intensive effort undertaken at the national, regional and international levels to address such phenomena and to implement the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

Some point to climate change, with global warming producing deeper droughts and more extreme weather.

In recent years, a series of extreme weather events including Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey, floods in China, and droughts in the American Midwest, Russia, and many developing countries have caused immense damage.

Extreme events, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes, will be less extreme and less frequent with successful mitigation.

Climate change brings widespread weather events that affect whole communities at the same time.

It provides the starkest assessment yet of how the earth s climate is responding to rising levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and creating risks for billions of people from extreme weather events and rising sea levels.

The events of this summer show how vulnerable our societies are to weather related extremes.

Environment ministers will not be able to cope with the pressures on oceans and forests, or the consequences of increasing extreme weather events like last year s Hurricane Katrina or this year s Typhoon Saomai China s worst in many decades.

This sector, however, is highly vulnerable to weather conditions and to external events affecting commodity prices.

Melting ice caps, rising sea levels and extreme weather patterns aren't the only potential consequences of climate change.

The number of extreme precipitation events is also increasing and are increasingly widespread.

Taking into account the various ways and forms in which all countries, in particular the more vulnerable developing countries, are affected by severe natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and extreme weather events such as heatwaves, severe droughts, floods and storms, and El Niño La Niña events, which have global reach,

In addition, a participant noted that severe weather events such as tropical cyclones are a major problem.

Expressing deep concern at the recent increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and associated natural disasters in some regions of the world and their substantial economic, social and environmental impacts, in particular upon developing countries in those regions,
