Visualizing the interconnections among climate risks : Climate change affects multiple sectors in virtually every part of the world. Impacts on one sector may influence other sectors, which we call 'interconnections of climate risks'. Our easy-to-understand risk maps and flowcharts show how changes in climate impact natural and socio-economic systems, ultimately affecting human security, health, and well-being. Our methodology can be used as a communication tool to inform decision makers, stakeholders, and the public about the cascading risks triggered by climate change.
