Indicator: Climate Risk
Status
Available on Project Basis
Description
Assesses likelihood and potential impact of climate-related hazards using IPCC climate models and scenarios up to 2100
Unit
Risk metrics for different hazards (e.g., temperature extremes, precipitation changes, drought, flood, sea level rise, fires)
Temporal Resolution
20-year intervals up to 2100, with scenarios for 1.5°C, 1.5°C-3.2°C, and 3.2°C-5.4°C emissions pathways
Spatial Resolution
25km for most metrics, with some variation by hazard type
Data
Data from 111 climate models and 470 climate simulations used by the IPCC, calibrated locally for spatial detail
Method
Analyzes multiple climate hazards including precipitation patterns, air temperature extremes, drought and flood risk, sea level rise, and fire risk. Different locations receive risk profiles based on local conditions (e.g., proximity to rivers, soil types) and climate scenarios
