In this paper recent work describing complex climate change risk is synthesized. It includes concepts of compound, connected, and cascading interactions. It reflects on the consequences of risk assessment and response. It then establishes a framework for risk assessment that encompasses increasing levels of complexity. The framework is demonstrated through diverse case studies to illustrate how risk assessments can better consider and categorize complexity. For convenience and tractability, analysts tend to break risk assessments into silos, often taking a component-oriented view.application/pdfenRISK ASSESSMENTCLIMATE CHANGE RISK MANAGEMENTCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCOMPLEXITYIPCCCLIMATE RISKSCLIMATE MITIGATION POLICYADAPTIVE CAPACITYWATER SCARCITYHEAT STRESSSOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
