DESCRIPTION:With global warming continuing\, cities are under more severe 
 threats from weather hazards. Because many of the infrastructures in citie
 s were built decades ago and the increased climate risks associated with g
 lobal warming have not been taken into consideration\, cities have become 
 more vulnerable\, which have severe consequences in terms of casualties an
 d property losses.\n\nIn this talk\, evidence will be presented on how the
  risks associated with different types of weather hazards have increased d
 uring the past few decades. These include heat waves\, enhanced rainfall a
 mount and rainfall intensity\, and sea-level rise. Examples of what have b
 een done in some cities to mitigate the impacts from these risks will also
  be given.
