We are interested both in these events from the perspective of the interactive earth system per se, and on their impacts, consequences, and management perspectives. We are interested in rare and low-probability heavy precipitation events, droughts, floods, storms and temperature extremes from time scales of hours to decades, including compound, cascading, and connected extremes, as well as the effect of tipping points and abrupt changes driven by climate change, societal response, or other mechanisms (e.g., volcanic eruption). This session aims to bring together the latest research on modelling, understanding and managing plausible past and future high impact climate events.

In order to increase preparedness for high impact climate events, it is important to develop methods and models that are able to represent these events and the impacts from them, and to better understand how to reduce the risks. Finally, continuing warming potentially increases the risk of crossing tipping points and triggering abrupt changes. Furthermore, compound behaviour, cascading effects and complex risks are becoming evident, such as the spike in food prices induced by the effects of the war in Ukraine on top of concurrent drought across regions with subsequent crop failure.
Some of these events would have arguably been nearly impossible without human-made climate change and broke records by large margins. Recent extreme events with intensities unprecedented in the observational record are causing high impacts globally, such as the heat waves in the UK, Pacific Northwest and in parts of China and severe flooding in Pakistan, Western Europe, eastern US and across China.
