As the climate warms, extreme events are becoming more frequent and intense worldwide. But who will be most exposed in the decades ahead and why? A new study answers this by comparing future exposure to floods, heatwaves, droughts and compound hot–dry events.

Des inondations comme celles du 14, 15 et 16 juillet 2021, sont-elles vraiment vouées à ne plus se reproduire de sitôt ? Rien n’est moins sûr, selon Josip Brakjovic, doctorant au département de géographie de l’ULiège et membre du laboratoire de climatologie et topoclimatologie, dont la thèse porte sur l’impact du changement climatique sur la fréquence et l’intensité des épisodes de fortes pluies en Belgique, et leurs conséquences hydrologiques (comme les inondations).

A summer ice-free Arctic Ocean could become a reality as early as the 2030s. In the new IcyAlert project, researchers will use #climate models, causal methods and #AI to develop a new early warning system for ice-free summers in the Arctic and its impacts.

Le rôle du changement climatique dans les flambées de pollens
Au moins 10% de la population belge est susceptible de développer des réactions allergiques ou une rhinite due au pollen de bouleau et au moins 15% au pollen de graminées. De plus, dans un pays densément peuplé et industrialisé comme la Belgique, la pollution atmosphérique peut augmenter le nombre de patients souffrant d'affections allergiques respiratoires. Pour la première fois, l'impact des conditions météorologiques, de la qualité de l'air et du pollen de bouleau et des graminées sur la santé des Belges a été quantifié.
