In particular, the basic building blocks of most computer models used to assess weather and climate risk are:\n", "- Hazard: probabilistic set of events. In such a set, each event is a map of the event's intensity (e.g., the maximum windspeed per location in the case of a storm, the maximum flood depth in the case of a flood, etc.). Each event is associated to a specific probability (or frequency).\n", "- Exposure: a map of physical and non-physical objects that are impacted by the hazard. Examples include population per area, houses value, biodiversity level per area.\n", "- Vulnerability: a function that estimates how much a given exposure item is affected from a given hazard intensity (e.g. wood houses take more damage to wind than stone houses, poorer people might suffer more from a flood than richer).\n", "\n", "An example of such computer models is CLIMADA.

It is fully open source and open access, which means that anyone can use, contribute to or improve CLIMADA. The full code is available at [Github](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python). CLIMADA is primarily developed and maintened by the Weather and Climate Risks Group at ETH and its users community include public agencies (e.g., MeteoSwiss), private companies (e.g., Celsius Pro), other researchers (e.g., Frankfurt School of management, UN-university) and NGOs.\n", "\n", "CLIMADA provides a framework for users to combine exposure, hazard and vulnerability to calculate risk. Users can create probabilistic impact data from event sets, look at how climate change affects these impacts, and see how effectively adaptation measures can change them. CLIMADA also allows for studies of individual events, historical event sets and forecasts. The model is highly customisable, meaning that users can work with pre-existing data provided for different hazards, population and economic exposure, or can provide their own data for parts or for all of the analysis. The pre-packaged data make CLIMADA particularly useful for users who focus on just one element of risk, since CLIMADA can 'fill in the gaps' for hazard, exposure or vulnerability in the rest of the analysis.\n", "\n", "The model core is designed to give as much flexibility as possible when describing the elements of risk, meaning that CLIMADA isn't limited to particular hazards, exposure types or impacts. We love to see the model applied to new problems and contexts. CLIMADA provides classes, methods and data for exposure, hazard and impact functions (also called vulnerability functions). CLIMADA provides several further features, such as a financial model and a framework to analyse adaptation measures, and additional classes and data for common uses, such as economic exposures or tropical storms." ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "id": "7e8bafcd-c447-477d-a834-0e113c8eb290", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "### CLIMADA Resources\n", "\n", "- [CLIMADA github repository](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python)\n", "- [CLIMADA documentation](https://climada-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)\n", "- [CLIMADA zotero library](https://www.zotero.org/groups/2502787/climada_open/library)\n", "- [CLIMADA impact assessment paper](https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/12/3085/2019/)\n", "- [CLIMADA case study examples](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_papers)\n", "- [CLIMADA data API](https://climada-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial/climada_util_api_client.html)" ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "id": "356114a4", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "### This seminar " ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "id": "54dcb9c9", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "In this seminar you will learn how to use CLIMADA to make simple risk analyses.
