Abstract

Facing the urgent challenge of extreme weather and climate-related events, our societal frameworks for “resilience” and “adaptation” are proving to be insufficient. This paper introduces the “Exploring Unprecedented Extremes” workshop, which was convened to elucidate the research gap in light of such challenges. The workshop tackled a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from assessing out-of-sample climatic events that defy traditional modeling approaches to enhancing the communication of risks and likelihoods associated with such unprecedented events.
