Overview

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.

• The Knowledge Platform's page on climate change as a risk driver provides more background.
• See also the JRC's Risk Data Hub, a GIS web-platform intended to improve the access and sharing of curated European-wide (EU, EFTA and IPA countries) risk data, tools and methodologies for fostering Disaster Risk Management (DRM) related actions as well as to support the CRAs.
