Featured Research: Enhancement of Global Flood Risk Due To Greater Flood Magnitude and Variability Under Anthropogenic Activities
Human-driven warming of 1.5–3°C could raise flood risk across 60–70% of Earth’s land. Most of the increase comes from bigger, more frequent floods shaped by human activity.
