| 974 | City of Sydney | 31114 | Australia | Sydney | C40 | 2015 | Frequent/Intense Rainfall | Serious | Current | Risks: displacement, property/infrastructure damage, flash flooding, localised power infrastructure damage, overflow contaminants, reduced amenity, changed biodiversity, food security, communication disruption. Potential changes in frequency and distribution of large storm events is largely unknown, and it is these extreme events that cause the most damage and therefore present the greatest risks. The CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology's 2013 State of the Climate report suggests that average rainfall in southern Australia is projected to decrease, and heavy rainfall is projected to increase over most parts of Australia. | (-33.8674869°, 151.2069902°) | (-25.274398°, 133.775136°) |

| 976 | City of Edmonton | 43912 | Canada | Edmonton | 2015 | Temperature Increase/Heatwaves | Extremely serious | Medium-term | Our water supply is heavily dependent upon snow Pack in the mountains which has noticeably decreased over the years. Water supply could be in jeopardy in the future. | (53.544389°, -113.4909267°) | (56.130366°, -106.346771°) |
