WP2-Evaluating changes in exposed elements at risk and their vulnerability
WP Leader: UNIVIE (Thomas Glade)
The aim of this Work Package is to evaluate environmental changes, triggered by global change (including climate change) and interacting with economic development, leading to changes in exposed elements at risk. The assessment of former distributions and the characterization and analysis of the current exposed elements at risk will form the basis of the work. Future scenarios for the location and type of exposed elements at risk depend on a number of factors, which are related to global change, but also to future economic developments and implementation of policies for land use planning. For the characterization of elements at risk and vulnerability a lot of work has been carried out in recent European research projects such as ENSURE and MOVE. The vulnerability to flooding is generally much better understood and characterized than for mass movements. The uncertainty level in vulnerability approaches should be evaluated based on historical damage catalogues, modelling and expert opinion. Indices for comprehensive, or holistic vulnerability assessment that include uncertainty levels will also be analysed and integrated within a dynamic context, focusing on characterization of future changes.
