Existing risk methods and frameworks

This section provides a comprehensive overview of various methods and frameworks related to climate risk management. These frameworks are essential tools for assessing and mitigating the impacts of climate change on different sectors. Some of the methods outlined here are specifically tailored to the Netherlands, taking into account local climate risks such as pole rot, while others are based on broader European or global methodologies designed for application across various regions and contexts.

These frameworks offer structured approaches to identifying, assessing, and responding to climate risks, and they are used by governments, businesses, and other stakeholders to support climate resilience and adaptation efforts. Some focus on long-term projections and sustainability, while others concentrate on more immediate risks and adaptation strategies. Notably, some methodologies integrate interdisciplinary aspects, including environmental, economic, and social considerations.

This overview highlights a selection of these available methods, but it is not exhaustive. The landscape of climate risk management is continually evolving, with new frameworks and tools emerging as knowledge about climate change impacts deepens and as policy priorities shift. These tools help policymakers, urban planners, businesses, and other stakeholders make informed decisions to ensure resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
