Following a flash flooding event in the city, our sectoral climate risk assessments included short-duration extreme rainfall events to inform long-term risk reduction and adaptation planning.
Detailed risk reports produced following community consultation to engage with local indigenous knowledge alongside climate science, literature review and stakeholder engagement to identify ongoing and intensifying environmental changes for analysis, including riverbank erosion, loss of permafrost and biodiversity change.
We reviewed physical infrastructure data, exposure to various risks, including landslide, sea level rise, extreme heat, rain, wind, flooding and snow and qualitative interviews about historic physical climatic events.
We assessed the potential impacts of climate change on water demand and availability, considering annual baseline precipitation, potential temperature increases, evaporation rates and precipitation extremities.
Using customised models, we assessed the extent of potential flooding and flood damage, including wind and storm surge, to the inundated area for current and future climate change scenarios.
Assessments considered a range of climate and environmental variables covering average and extreme conditions, with climate variables and risk scores reported by peril for each asset.
