Description
A reliable climate risk assessment (CRA) relies on effective combination of local information with established pan-European reference data and scenarios. However, many European regions and communities have limited experience and resources to integrate available local and global data, models and concepts into a CRA. The EU-funded CLIMAAX project will provide financial, analytical and practical support to regional authorities, communities and civil protection agencies in at least 50 regions. The project will deliver a standardised CRA framework and a toolbox with data, models and utilities to provide access to European and global open data archives. It will operate a financial support fund including a help desk, and validate the CRA tools and guidance material through five European pilot regional CRAs.
