| 573 | City of Long Beach | 50551 | USA | Long Beach | 2015 | Drought | Serious | Current | Hotter temperatures may lead to more intense droughts. The city is already in drought conditions. More intense droughts means less precipitation which may mean that vegetation and natural habitat might be threatened. | (33.77005°, -118.193739°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 574 | City of Long Beach | 50551 | USA | Long Beach | 2015 | Drought | Extremely serious | Current | The Long Beach Water Department has declared an Imminent Water Supply Shortage for the City. This enabled mandatory citywide water prohibitions limiting irrigation of landscape with potable water, excessive runoff from irrigation, and washing hardscape with a hose. | (33.77005°, -118.193739°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 575 | City of Long Beach | 50551 | USA | Long Beach | 2015 | Drought | Serious | Current | (33.77005°, -118.193739°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
| 576 | City of Long Beach | 50551 | USA | Long Beach | 2015 | Sea Level Rise | Less serious | Long-term | Under the higher warming scenario, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) anticipates that ocean levels will rise 4–30 inches by 2100. Based on information included in “The Impacts of Sea-level Rise on the California Coast” (Pacific Institute, March 2009),1 under medium to medium-high GHG emissions scenarios, mean sea level along the California coast is expected to rise from 3.28–4.59 feet (ft) by 2100. These forecasts provide an “order of magnitude” perspective regarding the potential effect of global climate change; however, the accuracy of the forecasts is not yet known, and there is an even greater level of uncertainty for shorter-term forecasts. | (33.77005°, -118.193739°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 577 | City of Long Beach | 50551 | USA | Long Beach | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Serious | Current | Since Long Beach has an urbanized landscape, especially near the downtown areas, higher temperatures will increase the urban heat island effect. | (33.77005°, -118.193739°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 578 | City of Long Beach | 50551 | USA | Long Beach | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Serious | Current | (33.77005°, -118.193739°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
| 579 | City of Park City, UT | 14344 | USA | Park City, UT | 2015 | Drought | Serious | Long-term | Climate change caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs) has long been a concern of snow-dependent industries, as changes in snow and ice are predicted to be some of the first effects of a warming climate. Changes to snowpack can impact a range of commercial activities from water resource management to ski area operations. The ski tourism industry in Utah is an important part of the regional economy, generating an estimated 19,323 jobs and $416,936,054 in total earnings of Utah’s workers in the 20052006 ski season (Isaacson, 2006). Given the importance of the Utah ski industry and the dependence of that industry on snow, climate change impacts to snowpack at Utah ski resorts can have a significant impact on the regional economy in the future. A recent study predicts that Park City’s climate will change substantially as a result of increased atmospheric GHG concentrations. Temperatures are predicted to rise and precipitation amount, timing, intensity is predicted to change. As a result, total snowpack and snow coverage will be reduced, the ski season will be shorter, and less of Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) will be skiable. The impacts to snowpack are more severe further in the future, and under scenarios with higher GHG emissions. Our economic modeling results indicate that projected decreases in snowpack will have severe economic consequences for the region. By 2030, the estimated decrease in snowpack is estimated to result in $120.0 million in lost output. This lost output is estimated to result in an estimated 1,137 lost jobs and $20.4 million in the form of lost earnings (or labor income). By 2050, the potential impacts range from $160.4 million in lost output, $27.2 million in lost earnings and 1,520 lost jobs (low emissions scenarios) to $392.3 million in lost output, $66.6 million in lost earnings and 3,717 lost jobs (high emissions scenario). | (40.646062°, -111.497973°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 580 | City of Park City, UT | 14344 | USA | Park City, UT | 2015 | Drought | Less serious | Short-term | Park City has secured long term water rights that will maintain our current levels of service. Despite this long term security, Utah is the 2nd most arid state in the USA. Prolonged drought would reduce our capacity to makes snow and provide our guests and second homeowners with the amenities they expect. More importantly, drought would disrupt our downstream neighbors. | (40.646062°, -111.497973°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 581 | City of Park City, UT | 14344 | USA | Park City, UT | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Serious | Short-term | The recent flooding in Boulder County demonstrate the threat of intense rainfall in a mountain/valley region. Park City does not have the same level of storm water management that Boulder County maintains and Boulder was severely affected by their storms. Receiving an equivalent rainfall would deeply impact Park City, Summit County, and our down stream neighbors. | (40.646062°, -111.497973°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 582 | City of Park City, UT | 14344 | USA | Park City, UT | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Serious | Long-term | Increased forest fire frequency and intensity are an acknowledged threat across the Intermountain West. | (40.646062°, -111.497973°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 583 | City of Phoenix | 35874 | USA | Phoenix | 2015 | Drought | Serious | Short-term | Average rainfall currently is 7 inches per year. That could impact available water supply. | (33.448377°, -112.074037°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 584 | City of Phoenix | 35874 | USA | Phoenix | 2015 | Drought | Serious | Short-term | Higher potential for particlulate air pollution with dry soils. Intense droughts could also impact water supply. | (33.448377°, -112.074037°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 585 | City of Phoenix | 35874 | USA | Phoenix | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Serious | Short-term | Safety issues with flash flooding potentially in areas not previously experiencing them; costs of clean-up; not easily planned for as one small area can experience significant rainfall in a short time-period.

| 594 | Municipality of Belo Horizonte | 35848 | Brazil | Belo Horizonte | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Extremely serious | Short-term | floods; inundation; loss of lives; loss of materials, equipments and products; loss of houses | (38.5198325°, -8.8695345°) | (-14.235004°, -51.92528°) | |
| 595 | City of St Louis | 35393 | USA | St. Louis | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Less serious | Short-term | (38.6270025°, -90.1994042°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
| 596 | City of Las Vegas | 10495 | USA | Las Vegas | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Serious | Current | Las Vegas is located within the arid Mojave Desert where temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees in the summer. Temperatures in the Las Vegas Valley have reached a record of 118 during summer months and average in the 100's. With higher extreme temperatures comes the risk of dehydration, heat stroke and similar illnesses, especially during the hotter months of the year. Prolonged periods of summer high temperatures will also affect the amount of energy used to cool buildings in the summer. | (36.1699412°, -115.1398296°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 597 | Seoul Metropolitan Government | 31187 | South Korea | Seoul | C40 | 2015 | Drought | Less serious | Long-term | Water shortage, water pollution and bad odor | (37.566535°, 126.9779692°) | (35.907757°, 127.766922°) |
| 598 | City of Paris | 31175 | France | Paris | C40 | 2015 | Drought | Extremely serious | Medium-term | More frequent low water flow and thus potential impacts on goods transport through river transport; and water resource. Impacts on biodiversity (possibility of a higher risk for forest fires) and potential impacts on energy distribution (particularly for the cold and heat urban networks). To a lesser extent, potential impacts on buildings (with the swelling-shrinking movements of some clay soils). On the long term, potential competitions for the uses of water (agriculture, drink...) | (48.856614°, 2.3522219°) | (46.227638°, 2.213749°) |
| 599 | City of Las Vegas | 10495 | USA | Las Vegas | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Serious | Current | Flash flooding and severe storms could become more frequent and may damage property and infrastructure. Flash flooding could also impact water quality by washing chemicals, sewage and other contaminants into lakes, rivers and streams. As severe weather events are expected to increase in frequency and intensity, further strain will be put on Las Vegas' flood control infrastructure. | (36.1699412°, -115.1398296°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 600 | City of Sydney | 31114 | Australia | Sydney | C40 | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Serious | Current | Risks: heat stress, community health, energy system strain, power disruptions, workforce productivity, behaviour change, transport disruption. Extreme heat days are expected to increase. This means that heatwaves will become hotter, last longer and be more frequent. The heatwave of 37.7°C that Sydney experienced in 2011 would have been considered a 1 in 100 year event in 1995. This is projected to become a 1 in 2 year event by 2070, meaning that heatwaves of such a magnitude could be expected each two-years on average. Sydney currently experiences temperatures above 30°C on 15 days per year. Studies have highlighted that by 2030 this is predicted to increase to between 18 and 31 days per year and by 2070 to between 22 and 117 days per year. | (-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°) | (-25.274398°, 133.775136°) |
