Risk Assessment and Management Guidelines

Guidelines for Climate Change Risk Assessment and Management

The guidelines for Climate Change Risk Assessment and Management are to be used by risk assessors and officers, local authorities responsible for societal welfare and other actors, such as critical infrastructure owners. The main goal of the guidelines is to show the entire process of risk assessment and risk management at the local level, particularly in cities.

Overview of Climate Risk Drivers, Hazards, and Consequences & Overcoming barriers to climate adaptation

The overview of climate risk drivers, hazards and consequences is a useful reference for understanding the links between potential drivers, hazards, and their potential impacts of climate change - direct, indirect and even cascading - on society. The inventory accompanies the integrated risk assessment methodology as an appendix.

Overcoming barriers to climate adaptation provides information on typical barriers that local authorities face in moving forward on climate adaptation, offers a tool that local authorities can use to identify their own barriers, and introduces resources to help actors move forward in overcoming the identified obstacles.

Overcoming barriers to climate adaptation accompanies the Guideline for integrated climate change and risk reduction management for local authorities.
