Correction to: Bracing for impact_ how shifting precipitation extremes may influence physical climate risks in an uncertain future (Scientific Reports, (2024), 14, 1, (17398), 10.1038/s41598-024-65618-9)

Correction to: Scientific Reportshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-65618-9, published online 29 July 2024 The original version of this Article contained errors in the Figure legend of Figure 2. The legend of Figure 2: “Demographic vulnerability to 100-year precipitation extremes. Panels (A)–(C) depict population exposure to heightened risks associated with 100-year precipitation extremes under varying temperature scenarios. In the baseline scenario, around 25 million individuals reside in high-risk areas, expected to double to 49.5 million with a 2 °C temperature increase and triple to 78.5 million under a 4 °C temperature increase. Panel (D) explores demographic characteristics by age groups, while Panel (E) provides an in-depth analysis of demographic data, including socio-economic status and disability. Current projections indicate that approximately 7 million individuals living below the poverty threshold are exposed to extreme precipitation events. Similar trends are noticeable in different groups of disabled population as well.” now reads: “Demographic vulnerability to 100-year precipitation extremes.
