[cmath] What the Numbers Say: Calculating Climate Change

[Jordana Feldman]

Climate change is here. How can mathematics help mitigate impacts?
Checking the forecast on your phone has gotten a lot less predictable. Between catastrophic weather events and seasons behaving erratically, it’s undeniable that climate change is no longer a future problem: it’s here now.

Thankfully, there are tools to help mitigate some of the impacts. Better climate information gives us the opportunity to identify our vulnerabilities and mathematics can be applied to a range of adaptation strategies – from city planning to actuarial calculations, climate services and more.

In this edition of What the Number Say, we shine a light on how climate scientists use modelling approaches to inform human decisions and help us take appropriate action. This is your chance to ask the experts about everything from heat impact, flood risk and human decisions and adaptation planning.
