Description
Use in decision framework
Climate threat |
Input
The method calls for identification of data sources on climate change, identification of their expected impact, identification of service areas, including both direct and indirect impacts. This requires much interaction with third parties, expertise on climate change, expertise on the impact of weather and climate change on various services and the ability to coordinate and oversee these efforts. The time investment would be considered to be considerable.
Outline
The method defines the following steps:
- Gather information on climate change from different stakeholders
- Identify concrete sources for that information
- Determine the expected climate change
- Identify impacts and service areas
- Identify relevant service areas
- implicit step: summarize findings and draw conclusions
Output
Output of the method is an overview of how climate change directly or indirectly impacts various services, see table below.
