Climate Risk Sourcebook

The Climate Risks Sourcebook provides an updated methodological approach on how to design and conduct climate risk assessments and provides the necessary and state-of-the-art knowledge incorporating findings of the sixth Assessment Report of the IPCC. It is a user-friendly, step-by-step guide to operationalizing the theoretical concept of risk. The approach is location and context-specific and gives guidance on how climate risk assessments can inform and support evidence-based decision making. This includes impact chains as tailor-made conceptual models that illustrate key risks and their drivers for a specific context. The Climate Risk Sourcebook additionally offers expert material for further in-depth knowledge. Another novelty is its focus on communication, gender and vulnerable groups
