Overall climate risks (SSP5-8.5 - Near-term: 2021-2040)

To produce the following climate risk maps, the different components of risk (hazard, exposure and vulnerability) are aggregated based on the IPCC definition of risk (IPCC-AR5, 2014). The risk of climate related impacts results from the interaction of climatological, hydrological and meteorological hazards (including climate extremes and climate variability) with the exposure of human and natural systems, including agriculture, together with livelihoods´ vulnerability. In addition, changes in both the climate system and socioeconomic processes include adaptation and mitigation measures, which are drivers of hazards, exposure and vulnerability. Although mitigation of climate hazards is not considered in the computation of climate risks, the modulation of risks is carefully included, commonly implemented through adaptive responses and often integrated within existing programs/policies related to disaster risk management by (i) preventing new disaster risk, (ii) reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, and (iii) contributing to the strengthening of climate resilience and reduction of disaster losses. As a result, we obtain a set of maps that consider the overall climate risk for the baseline period, near-term (2021-40) and mid-term (2041-60), respectively for a low emission scenario (SSP1-2.6) and a high emission scenario (SSP5-8.5).

To produce the following climate risk maps, the different components of risk (hazard, exposure and vulnerability) are aggregated based on the IPCC definition of risk (IPCC-AR5, 2014). The risk of climate related impacts results from the interaction of climatological, hydrological and meteorological hazards (including climate extremes and climate variability) with the exposure of human and natural systems, including agriculture, together with livelihoods´ vulnerability. In addition, changes in both the climate system and socioeconomic processes include adaptation and mitigation measures, which are drivers of hazards, exposure and vulnerability. Although mitigation of climate hazards is not considered in the computation of climate risks, the modulation of risks is carefully included, commonly implemented through adaptive responses and often integrated within existing programs/policies related to disaster risk management by (i) preventing new disaster risk, (ii) reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk, and (iii) contributing to the strengthening of climate resilience and reduction of disaster losses.
