Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessment
Identifying local climate impacts on human, built, green, and economic assets, assessing vulnerability, and defining actions.
Problem description
Climate adaptation is a critical challenge. Vulnerability varies significantly across regions, municipalities, and urban blocks. Developing tailored local adaptation strategies and prioritizing interventions requires comprehensive spatial climate data (hazard, exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity).
Solution workflow
Developing complex vulnerability indicators and maps by integrating climate projections (climate models) with non-climatic spatial data (demographics, land cover).
Output
Hazard, sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and integrated vulnerability metrics and maps across territorial tiers (block, district, municipality); web decision support systems for functional urban areas.
