Summary

We will upgrade projections of climate change impacts on natural disasters and water resources, evaluate their adaptations, and estimate economic impacts. We will employ approximately 1-km downscaled climate scenarios and socio-economic scenarios from Theme 1.

Research framework

Goals

  • Upgrade projections of climate change impacts on natural disasters and water resources, evaluate their adaptations, and estimate economic impacts using approximately 1 km downscaled climate scenarios and socio-economic scenarios.
  • Determine local features and identify vulnerable areas and factors regarding natural disasters and water resources
  • Evaluate effectiveness of adaptations in natural disasters and water resources, including hard and soft measures
  • Evaluate economically for damage and adaptation cost
