| 825 | New Taipei City Government | 56276 | Taiwan | New Taipei | 2016 | Extreme hot days | Serious | Due to the continual rise in the ratio of senior population of New Taipei City and without the consideration of improved adaptability, the ratio of senior population in some Districts are high with inadequate number of medical institutions. | Health and community | Emergency services | Food and agriculture | (25.0111°, 121.4458°) | (23.69781°, 120.960515°) | |

| 828 | Singapore Government | 35993 | Singapore | Singapore | C40 | 2016 | Drought | Serious | Droughts could become more severe and frequent because of climate change. Phase 1 of the Second National Climate Change study projected that rainfall totals for February could decrease from an annual average of 142.mm to 23.9mm. | Water | Health and community | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |
| 829 | Singapore Government | 35993 | Singapore | Singapore | C40 | 2016 | Extreme hot days | Serious | Phase 1 of our Second National Climate Change Study projected that temperatures in Singapore could rise by up to 4.6°C by the end of century; translating to a future mean temperature of 32.0°C. Unusually warm temperatures we encounter occasionally today could become the norm in the future and days with record temperatures above those experienced historically will also become more frequent. All days between February to May could have maximum temperatures above 34.1°C. Due to the high levels of humidity, such projected temperature rises could lead to an increase in thermal discomfort. | Health and community | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | ||
| 830 | Singapore Government | 35993 | Singapore | Singapore | C40 | 2016 | Flash/surface flood | Serious | Phase 1 of our Second National Climate Change Study has suggested an increasing trend in the intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall events over Singapore, particularly during the wetter season. Increasing intensity and frequency of heavy rainfall increases the likelihood of flash/surface floods in Singapore. | Transport | Commerical | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |
| 831 | Singapore Government | 35993 | Singapore | Singapore | C40 | 2016 | Storm surge | Serious | Singapore is also expecting higher sea levels. The study projected an increase in mean sea level of up to 1.02m by the year 2100. This change would also contribute to wind driven coastal storm surges and high waves. | Transport | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | ||
| 832 | Singapore Government | 35993 | Singapore | Singapore | C40 | 2016 | Vector-borne disease | Serious | The increase in temperature and rainfall is expected to increase the vector/pest population and transmission. An increase in temperature is expected to reduce the duration of development of vectors/pests, such that there will be an increase in population that leads to high transmission all year round or increased force of infection. Moreover, the biting rate of mosquitoes is expected to increase while the replication time of pathogens is expected to shorten. Thus, this would lead to an increase in transmission of vector-borne disease, in particular dengue. Finally, there is also an increased risk of new pathogen(s) being established under a hotter climate. The study has also projected that there is an increasing trend in rainfall, particularly during the wetter season. An increase in intermittent rainfall may create more mosquito larval habitats and increase mosquito population. | Health and community | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | ||
| 833 | Shinan County | 48558 | South Korea | Shinan | 2016 | Extreme hot days | Extremely serious | (34.8679°, 126.991°) | (35.907757°, 127.766922°) | |||||
| 834 | Auckland Council | 43932 | New Zealand | Auckland | C40 | 2016 | Drought | Less serious | Auckland is vulnerable to the effects of different types of drought that could have severe implications on people, agriculture and the economy. The effect of drought could potentially damage plants, animals, wildlife habitat, and air and water quality. It could also increase forest and range fires leading to a reduced landscape quality. There will be a strain on the city’s water resources and cause conflicts between water users, inequities in the distribution of impacts and drought relief and public safety and health. Increased instances of drought will economically impact agriculture and related sectors. This may potentially inflate food prices, energy and other products as supplies are reduced. | Food and agriculture | Health and community | Water | (-36.815328°, 174.741788°) | (-40.900557°, 174.885971°) |

| 839 | Auckland Council | 43932 | New Zealand | Auckland | C40 | 2016 | Tornado | Less serious | Tornadoes occur infrequently in Auckland but are much smaller than those that occur in the Midwest of the USA. Most tornado injuries or deaths in Auckland are related to airborne debris or building collapse. In Auckland, while tornado damage generally is localised, tornadoes have caused damage to buildings and power lines, fences and trees, vehicles by overturning or wind or hail damage and injuries to people but rarely death. | Residential | Transport | Emergency services | (-36.815328°, 174.741788°) | (-40.900557°, 174.885971°) |
| 840 | Auckland Council | 43932 | New Zealand | Auckland | C40 | 2016 | Severe wind | Serious | Due to its position in the 'Roaring Forties', a belt of strong winds in the Southern Hemisphere which generally occur between the latitudes of 40 and 49 degrees, as well as its small size, New Zealand is a windy country. Typical damage experienced in Auckland city includes: • destruction of buildings, including roofing being blown off, broken windows, and other flying debris • large scale forest damage and fallen trees or branches falling onto power-lines • high-sided vehicles and outdoor equipment such as centre-pivot irrigators being blown over • very tall buildings and transmission lines can suffer structural failures. | Residential | Emergency services | Commerical | (-36.815328°, 174.741788°) | (-40.900557°, 174.885971°) |
