This framework defines and models compound events to better assess climate-related risks.

The aim is to understand how combinations of climate variables can lead to extreme impacts, known as compound events.
Introduced the use of influence diagrams for modeling compound events.
Mapped and analyzed the dependencies between physical variables and their impacts.
Emphasized stakeholder perspectives in defining risk and impact.
Identified that extreme impacts often arise from multiple, non-extreme climate variables.
Demonstrated that understanding compound events improves risk communication.
Promoted enhanced insights into climate-related hazard risks.
