Output: Report
Region of origin: Europe
Developed by which sector: Science
Applied in practice: Yes
Geographic coverage in analysis: Europe
Potential geographic coverage: Worldwide
Sectors covered: Agriculture, Tourism sector, Biodiversity, Forestry, Water sector
Details: Various sectors according to authors
Method used: Quantitative model
Description of methodology: Multisectoral vulnerability analysis: Sensitivity is quantified through physical, social, environmental, economic dimensions (sector-specific). These are directly related to exposure variables. Impact measures are derived through the aggregation of sector-specific impacts. In the last step the aggregated impact is combined with adaptive capacity.
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: Climate projections, biophysical and socio-economic data sources
Temporal scale: Forward looking
Participatory elements: No
Consideration of interconnectedness and -dependencies of risks: Partly
Details: Considers multiple risks(called impacts here)
Adressing uncertainty: No
Scope of assessment: Identification of risks, assessment of impacts
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
