Euronews.green writes that, according to the scientists that conducted the study, these changes will intensify over the course of the next two decades and they used four different climatic simulations to determine how each of the planet's regions will be affected in the future.

Dr Carley Iles, lead author of the research at CICERO, said that "we focus on regional changes, due to their increased relevance to the experience of people and ecosystems compared with the global mean, and identify regions projected to experience substantial changes in rates of one or more extreme event indices over the coming decades."

Thus, under a future scenario where we don't do anything to reduce our negative impact on the planet, regions such as the Mediterranean, Northwestern and Southern America, as well as Eastern Asia can expect unprecedented changes in the climate over the next two or three decades.

As usual, low-income countries are those that will see the biggest impact from these climate change events, as they also lack the capabilities to prepare for these episodes properly. The simulation shows that 70% of the world's population, or 5.6 billion people, will have to expect more extreme weather events in the coming years, especially in a future where emissions rise even more.

Additionally, the experts in Norway warned that some changes are locked in and will continue to happen in certain regions, even if emission cuts are to be achieved, with the severe weather happening over the next two decades. Thus, 20% of the population, mainly those located in the Arabian Peninsula and South Asia, will continue to experience worse and worse weather, even if efforts are being conducted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Dr Bjørn H. Samset at the CICERO Center for International Climate Research, said that "the only way to deal with this is to prepare for a situation with a much higher likelihood of unprecedented extreme events, already in the next one to two decades."

Floodings and extreme heatwaves are believed to be the most dangerous extreme weather events that will affect most people on Earth.
