　　主要内容：

　　        According to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the human-induced climate change has been accelerating the global water cycle. The intensified water cycle leads to an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather and climate events such as droughts and floods, posing a significant threat to human societies and natural systems. In response to the devastating impacts of global climate change, the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), held from 6 to 18 November 2022 in Egypt, brought together countries from around the world to increase ambition and strengthen commitments on climate change adaptation and resilience. In this talk, I will present our recent work on the detection and attribution of the emerging risk of extreme weather and climate events including flash droughts and compound events. I will talk about the spatiotemporal characteristics and dynamics of such emerging extreme events as well as associated driving mechanisms.
