Possible impacts from projected extreme climate events Climate event Projected impact Higher max temps, heat waves Heat stress in wildlife Higher min temps, fewer cold days Extended range of pests and disease vectors More intense precipitation events Increased flooding, increased soil erosion, landslide damage Summer droughts Reduced water quantity and quality, risk of fires Intensified tropical cyclones (wind and rain) Coastal erosion, damage to coastal infrastructure, physical damage to coastal ecosystems such as mangrove swamps
