Therefore, contemporary climatological research pays a lot of attention to climate change scenarios with the aim of defining bounds of possible development of futureclimate. For this purpose, the numerical models of climate system are usually used. Impacts and consequences of future climate change on society and enviroment depend not only on the reaction of the climate system to different radiative forcing, but also on the reaction of human society to the new conditions by innovation in the sectors of technology, economy,life style, and policy. Hence, i tis necessary to incorporate socio-economic scenarios in the process of development of climate change projections. Present paper provide a brief overview about what kind of information can such scenarios provide, what are their limits, how they are constructed and what are the newest findings and progress in this area. The European Environment Agency (EEA) report presents information on past and projected climate change and related impacts in Europe, based on a range of indicators. The report also assesses the vulnerability of society, human health and ecosystems in Europe and identifies those regions in Europe most at risk from climate change. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has agreed to limit the increase in global mean temperature since pre‑industrial times to less than 2 °C, in order to prevent the most severe impacts of climate change. Current global actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ('mitigation') are insufficient to constrain the temperature increase to 2 °C, and global warming could be well above 2 °C by 2100. Even if the 2 °C limit is kept, substantial impacts on society, human health and ecosystems are projected to occur. Adaptation to and mitigation of climate change are therefore both needed. The European Commission has initiated various actions to integrate and mainstream adaptation into EU sectoral policies following the publication of the White Paper on adaptation to climate change in 2009. Furthermore, many countries in Europe have already adopted national adaptation strategies and some have followed up with specific action plans. The European Commission plans publishing its European Adaptation Strategy, which will include further proposals for adaptation actions across the EU. 1 About climate change • Climate change (increases in temperature, changes in precipitation and decreases in ice and snow) is occurring globally

  • Chapter 4 Risk Assessment
    Chapter 4 Risk Assessment Requirement §201.6(c)(2): [The plan shall include] A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards. As defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), risk is a combination of hazard, vulnerability, and exposure. “It is the impact that a hazard would have on people, services, facilities, and structures in a community and refers to the likelihood of a hazard event resulting in an adverse condition that causes injury or damage.” The risk assessment process identifies and profiles relevant hazards and assesses the exposure of lives, property, and infrastructure to these hazards. The process allows for a better understanding of a community’s potential risk to natural hazards and provides a framework for developing and prioritizing mitigation actions to reduce risk from future hazard events. This risk assessment followed the methodology described in the FEMA publication Understanding Your Risks—Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (FEMA 386-2, 2002), which breaks the assessment down to a four-step process: 1. Identify Hazards; 2. Profile Hazard Events; 3. Inventory Assets; and 4. Estimate Losses. Data collected through this process has been incorporated into the following sections of this chapter: ➢ Section 4.1: Hazard Identification identifies the hazards that threaten the planning area and describes why some hazards have been omitted from further consideration. ➢ Section 4.2: Hazard Profiles discusses the threat and impacts to the planning area and describes previous occurrences of hazard events and the likelihood of future occurrences.
