Introduction: Levels of fire activity and severity that are unprecedented in the instrumental record have recently been observed in forested regions around the world. Using a large sample of daily fire events and hourly climate data, here we show that fire activity in all global forest biomes responds strongly and predictably to exceedance of thresholds in atmospheric water demand, as measured by maximum daily vapour pressure deficit. The climatology of vapour pressure deficit can therefore be reliably used to predict forest fire risk under projected future climates.

Introduction: As climate change unfolds, natural disasters that strike with previously unthinkable force have become our new normal. Floodwaters rise higher, winds blow harder and lives and livelihoods are in greater danger than ever before. Incorporating AI and machine learning into natural disaster response has become de rigeuer in the last few years. As this technology evolves and the need to confront climate change escalates, technologists are rapidly pushing AI’s ability to predict, monitor and mobilize disaster response further than ever before. Looking at the latest examples of AI usage in disaster management — highly accurate forecasts, optimizing aid deployment and real-time monitoring, to name a few — we can take stock of how AI can help us adapt to climate change today, and prepare for a more resilient tomorrow.

Introduction: CAE Member WU Zhiqiang believes that urban planning is particularly important for China. The history of urban development has repeatedly proved that the city as a human body needs to be organically combined with nature. Urban planning is not only to complete the artificial construction, but also to intervene in the ecological nature. Natural conditions are the first factor in urban planning, so it is necessary to integrate the artificial system and the natural ecosystem.
