Assesment to be used by which target audience: Local decision makers
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: Urban sector
Details: Urban planning
Method used: Quantitative model
Description of methodology: First step is to calibrate a stochastic diffusion model from down scales IPCC data. Second step is to measure risk through a value at risk estimate and a expected shortfall estimate. Based on the probability distribution a economic damage function is calculated
Risk framework used: No explicit use of risk framework
Risk components incorporated: Hazard, exposure, sensitivity
Hazards and impacts considered in the assessment: Sea level rise
Source of required data: Secondary (available data is used)
Details: Local sea level projections, regionalized IPCC data, data on exposure and assets at risk from SLR
Temporal scale: Forward looking
Participatory elements: No
Consideration of interconnectedness and -dependencies of risks: No
Adressing uncertainty: Yes
Scope of assessment: Identification of risks
Economic/Non-Economic losses incorporated: Economic
Applicability for entire risk spectrum (from extreme weather events to slow onset processes): No
Details: Sea level rise only
Recommendations for Adaptation measures included in Climate Risk Assessment: No
