Type of assessment: Comprehensive impact and risk assessment
Format of assessment: Scientific article
Estimated costs for conducting: No information
Estimated duration of assessment: No information
To be carried out by whom: Scientists/researchers
Institutional scale of use: Regional
Assesment to be used by which target audience: Private sector representatives/SME owners
Details: Tourism sector
Output: Others (see details)
Details: Report and risk map
Region of origin: Europe
Developed by which sector: Science
Applied in practice: Yes
Geographic coverage in analysis: Europe
Potential geographic coverage: Cyprus
Sectors covered: Tourism sector
Method used: Quantitative model
Description of methodology: Calculation of precipitation risk based on an Information Diffusion Model (IDM). Probabilities of precipitation were extracted from IDM and inserted into the Tourism Climate Index (TCI) which produced results on the risk of precipitation to tourism and spatially mapped through GIS
Risk framework used: No explicit use of risk framework
Risk components incorporated: Risk
Hazards and impacts considered in the assessment: Extreme rainfall
Source of required data: Secondary (available data is used)
Details: Longitudinal data on precipitation in the region (derived from weather stations)
Temporal scale: None
Details: Only probability of precipitation was calculated
Participatory elements: No
Consideration of interconnectedness and -dependencies of risks: No
Adressing uncertainty: Yes
Scope of assessment: Identification of risks, assessment of impacts, identification of adaptation options
Economic/Non-Economic losses incorporated: Economic
Applicability for entire risk spectrum (from extreme weather events to slow onset processes): No
Recommendations for Adaptation measures included in Climate Risk Assessment: Yes
