Type of assessment: Vulnerability assessment
Format of assessment: Scientific article
Estimated costs for conducting: No information
Estimated duration of assessment: No information
To be carried out by whom: Multiple actors
Details: Scientists and local actors
Institutional scale of use: National
Assesment to be used by which target audience: State level decision makers
Output: Report
Region of origin: Europe
Developed by which sector: Science
Applied in practice: Partly
Geographic coverage in analysis: Asia
Potential geographic coverage: Worldwide
Sectors covered: Water sector, Biodiversity
Details: Integrated Water Resources Management, Natural Resources Management
Method used: Quantitative model
Description of methodology: Participative modelling: In order to create a shared understanding of the system, local actors and researchers develop a list of issues and corresponding indicators. Local actors furthermore also identify relevant subdomains, strategies and help in assessing the aggregation weight. Together with a conceptual model of vulnerability based on AR4, an operational model is developed which enables scenario analysis.
Risk framework used: AR4
Risk components incorporated: All
Hazards and impacts considered in the assessment: All hazards
Source of required data: Secondary (available data is used)
Details: Secondary data is collected corresponding to the selected indicators
Temporal scale: Forward looking
Participatory elements: Yes
Details: Local authorities identify local issues of relevance for analysis and researchers propose a set of indicators to evaluate these. Attribution of values to indicators is based on available data
Consideration of interconnectedness and -dependencies of risks: Partly
Details: Is not explicitly stated but incorporated through community involvment and aggregation
Adressing uncertainty: Yes
Scope of assessment: Identification of risks
Details: Vulnerability assessment
Economic/Non-Economic losses incorporated: Both
Applicability for entire risk spectrum (from extreme weather events to slow onset processes): Yes
Recommendations for Adaptation measures included in Climate Risk Assessment: No
