How climate change is making record-breaking floods the new normal - UNEP
2020年3月3日 · Floods are made more likely by the more extreme weather patterns caused by long-term global climate change. Change in land cover—such as removal of vegetation—and climate change increase flood risk. Extreme floods can be triggered by intense precipitation, longer duration, close repetition of precipitations or a combination of these.
