BackgroundIn the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the IPCC, which comprises thecontributions of three Working Groups: Working Group 1 (the physicalscience basis); Working Group 2 (impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability);and Working Group 3 (mitigation), extremes – including temperature
extremes, heavy precipitation, pluvial floods, river floods, droughts, andstorms – are highlighted as main Climatic Impact Drivers (CIDs) that affectan element of society or ecosystems. These extremes are mentioned in theWorking Group 1 Report to show the science of how and why the climate
has changed. In the Working Group 2 Report, research on the impacts ofextremes (e.g., storms and floods) has evolved to include not only theassessment of impacts on the ecosystems and biodiversity but also theassessment of impacts on humans and their diverse societies, cultures, andsettlements as well as social changes in population and economies.

In view of the findings of AR6, the Advanced Study of Climate Change
Projection (SENTAN), which comprises a number of research institutes in
Asia and the Pacific, aims to achieve the integration of hazard models
focusing on storm-and-flood hazards and water resources. In particular, itaims to develop a climate change impact projection model of extreme
weather events (e.g., storms and floods) that is downscaled to Japan andAsia-Pacific region. This study will assess the effects of extreme weather
events and analyze the changes of hazards with rising temperature, asdownscaled to Japan and Asia-Pacific region.
Against this backdrop, the SENTAN project is organizing a series ofwebinars that will serve as venue to:present the framework of hazard-related weather information(developed by SENTAN) to be applied to climate change adaptation
share the products of climate change projections and improve climatechange literacy among DRR practitioners, researchers, and engineers
