Do you have an up-to-date climate risk assessment for your region?
A regional climate risk assessment is often needed to design or update a climate adaptation and/or risk management plan. Regular updates are needed considering changing climate risk profiles!
HAZARD + EXPOSURE + VULNERABILITY = RISK
Changing trends in climate hazards (extreme weather or hydrological conditions)
Changing exposure (due to evolving land use or infrastructure layout)
Changing vulnerability patterns (due to dynamic population structures)
Before starting your climate risk assessment, it is recommended to make an inventory of potential hazards affecting your region and sketch the policy context where the CRA will be used.
The Framework
The CLIMAAX CRA Framework is designed to support you in your regional climate risk assessments in five participatory steps while ensuring social justice and equity.
The Workflow
The CLIMAAX CRA Workflow provides tools and datasets that you can use for your regional climate risk assessments. The Workflow is designed in such a way that it can be used by any region while maintaining a high level of flexibility to adjust it to the needs of your region! This might include replacing European datasets with local datasets, adjusting parameters of the assessment, or changing the visualization.
