Introduction
Facing (usually monetary) constraints, the decision on a specific set of adaptation measures to counter climate-related hazards needs to be backed by thorough appraisal of options and their performance.
Within the framework of the Economics of Climate Adaptation (ECA) methodology, climate risk quantification and adaptation measure parametrization are vital steps. CLIMADA, an open source and – access probabilistic risk modelling and adaptation economics platform tackles these and provides assistance to decision makers: The model, running on Python, encompasses a growing set of natural hazards (currently tropical cyclones, winter storms, with flood, drought and landslides under development). It provides developers with a versatile platform and allows users to experiment with different scenarios and measures.
Objective
To demonstrate the possibilities regarding natural hazard risk quantification and adaptation measure appraisal with CLIMADA.
Expected outcome
Participants will receive an insight into the CLIMADA model, know where and how to access it, and obtain a feeling for the possibilities that it offers and the technical and data-related requirements that come with its application.
