Method used: Mixed method approach
Description of methodology: Because the general assessment of a complex system disregards individual properties of its parts, while particular assessments give no idea about the system as a whole, combining the two approaches was used in this research.
Risk framework used: AR4
Risk components incorporated: All
Hazards and impacts considered in the assessment: Drought, Cold spell
Source of required data: Secondary (available data is used)
Details: Outputs of seven regional climatic models (RCMs) with 25 km spatial resolution, which had been realized within the EC research project ENSEMBLES for A1B SRES scenario, use of official databases for sensitivity and adaptive capacity indicators
Temporal scale: Current, Forward looking
Participatory elements: Partly
Details: During a facilitated discussion, the representatives of ATUs, sectoral ministries and agencies, academics, and NGOs reviewed the findings from their regional or sectoral perspectives,commented on the conclusions, and suggested priority adaptation measures to reduce likely climate-related risks
Consideration of interconnectedness and -dependencies of risks: No
Adressing uncertainty: No
Scope of assessment: Identification of risks, assessment of impacts, identification of adaptation options
Economic/Non-Economic losses incorporated: No information
Applicability for entire risk spectrum (from extreme weather events to slow onset processes): Partly
Details: Data resolution is monthly climate means no extreme events covered
Recommendations for Adaptation measures included in Climate Risk Assessment: Partly
Details: Participative brainstorming with stakeholders to identify adaptation options
Applied by whom: UNECE, UNEP, and OSCE under the ENVSEC
