Risiken, Vulnerabilität und Anpassungserfordernisse für klimaverletzliche Regionen

Abstract

Regional scenarios of climate change are used to evaluate impacts and risks using vulnerability assessments. The scenarios should not be seen as weather type forecasts, but as tools to analyze alternative future perspectives and their consequences. The role of climate scenarios together with additional factors for the assessment of regional vulnerability and adaptability are described. Given examples with references to spatial planning are water resource management, river floods, coastal protection, agriculture and forestry as well as nature protection and landscape conservation.
