The generalised sea level and temperature rise, along with the increasing frequency intensity of storms extremes, trigger a variety climate-change-related impacts on coastal communities, such as flooding erosion, pluvial river flooding, heat waves, cold spells, droughts, landslides. These events can rapidly cascade into additional challenges have profound impact zone. Many studies focused causes consequences climate change for cities in past decades. As result, number forecasts, risk...
The assessment of risk posed by climate change in coastal cities encompasses multiple climate-related hazards. Sea-level rise, flooding and erosion are important hazards, but they not the only ones. varying availability quality data across hinders ability to conduct holistic standardized multi-hazard assessments. Indeed, there far fewer studies on hazards than single Also, comparability existing methodologies becomes challenging, making it difficult establish a cohesive understanding overall...
As the spectre of climate change looms large, there is an increasing imperative to develop comprehensive risk assessment tools. The purpose this work evaluate evolution and current state research on multi-hazard indices associated with climate-related hazards, highlighting their crucial role in effective amidst growing challenges change. A notable gap cross-regional comparative studies persists, presenting opportunity for future enhance global understanding foster universal resilience...
Abstract Sea-level and temperature rise due to climate change exacerbate existing climate-related hazards in coastal areas. In this work, an approach based on Coastal City Living Labs is developed carry out a high-level characterisation of key for ten European cities. The are conceived as physical virtual spaces which stakeholders meet collaboration, co-creation co-ideation solve the challenges posed by hazards. information past extreme events local knowledge thus obtained combined identify...
As climate change intensifies, European coastal cities face escalating risks from multiple climate-related hazards. Addressing these challenges requires capturing the multifaceted nature of adequately. This paper presents a novel multi-hazard risk assessment methodology for cities, which integrates indicators hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. It advances beyond existing models by incorporating wide array hazards significant indicators. Applied to six diverse across...
