Mortality Risks - Hazards by Regions
The Art
The Science
“Vulnerability – Observed human vulnerability differs between and within countries and strongly determines how climate hazards impact people and society.”
“The pie charts show the number of deaths (mortality) per hazard (storm, flood, drought, heatwaves and wildfires) event per continental region…. The size of the pie chart represents the average mortality per hazard event while slices of each pie chart show the absolute number of deaths from each hazard.
