Climate change is causing natural hazards, such as heatwaves, floods, droughts and storm winds, to become more frequent, persistent and intense. Rosgidromet data suggests that the territory of Russia since the 1970s has been heating up 2.5 times faster than the global average. These changes are already affecting the main regions of the country, posing a threat to ecosystems, infrastructure and public health. This in turn hinders the achievement of Russia’s national development goals, including improved quality of life, stable economic growth and the creation of a safe living environment. To analyse the effects of climate change, the notion of climate physical risk is used, understood as a combination of hazard, exposure and vulnerability components.
