STUDY ON ADAPTATION MODELLING: Comprehensive Desk Review : Climate Adaptation Models and Tools

Year: 2021

Type: report

Abstract: This document provides a comprehensive desk review of climate adaptation models and tools for the “Study on Adaptation Modelling” on behalf of the Directorate General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) (CLIMA/A.3/ETU/2018/0010). This work was undertaken by a consortium led by Fondazione Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) and includes Deltares, the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) and Paul Watkiss Associates (PWA). This comprehensive desk review aims to address the European Commissions’ requirement to support better-informed decision making on climate adaptation at multiple governance levels: it provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and forward looking overview of the range of technical, financial, economic and non-monetary models and tools for hazards, risks, impacts, vulnerability and adaptation climate assessments. This therefore aims not only to collate current knowledge on climate adaptation assessment methodologies, but to highlight research gaps in each field. This review subsequently informs a recommended approach for adaptation modelling, detailed in further reports.
