| 1456 | Greater Manchester | 35898 | United Kingdom | Manchester | 2016 | River flood | Extremely serious | Flooding stand out as one of the key weather and climate threats to the conurbation, not just in the future but also in the present day. Indeed, evidence from the EcoCities project suggests that flooding has been the most prominent hazard facing GM over recent decades, and that surface water flooding is superseding fluvial flooding (from main rivers) as the most common type of event (Carter and Lawson 2011). Although fluvial flooding is relatively uncommon in GM, given the location of key assets and infrastructures within Flood Zones and the high consequences of related impacts should they occur, the associated risks remain high. In addition to the damage flooding causes to buildings and infrastructure, flooding also brings knock-on secondary impacts which must be recognised. One example is the effect of flood damage to people’s homes, and the subsequent psychological stress that this can cause flood victims. | Transport | Emergency services | (53.4575955°, -2.1578377°) | (55.378051°, -3.435973°) | ||

Eutrophication problems will worsen if climate change causes higher water temperatures in lakes and estuaries, like Guanabara Bay, Sepetiba Bay, Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and Jacarepaguá Lagoon System. | Health and community | Energy | Water | (-22.9054389°, -43.5614471°) | (-14.235004°, -51.92528°) |

| 1460 | Cascais | 50680 | Portugal | Cascais | 2016 | Coastal flood | Serious | Stormsurges are increasing both in number and frequency which means less available beach area for tourism and leizure activities as well as fishing activities. This will reduce the beach quality offer and safety of our coastal infrastructures | Water | Emergency services | Commerical | (38.6970565°, -9.4222945°) | (39.399872°, -8.224454°) | |

| 1463 | City of St Louis | 35393 | USA | St Louis | 2016 | Cold wave | Serious | Cold waves do not disprove climate change, but rather reinforce its presence. Climate change is affecting global weather patterns, causing periods of extreme heat and extreme cold. Melting of sea ice and increasing temperatures at the poles causes changes in atmospheric circulation. This causes Arctic air from the poles to migrate to lower latitudes and creates cold waves. Cold waves are very dangerous for the vulnerable members of St. Louis' population, including the elderly and children. | Health and community | Commerical | Transport | (38.6270025°, -90.1994042°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |

Further, the EPA predicts that hotter days will increase ground level ozone, which can produce smog and increase in respiratory infections. They also predict an increase in fine particulate matter, which could exacerbate a host of respiratory diseases | Emergency services | Health and community | Energy | (36.1699412°, -115.1398296°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |

Homes in Northeast Ohio would also experience increased rates of flooding. | Water | Residential | Emergency services | (41.49932°, -81.6943605°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
