'''INFO:'''This task will provide an up-to-date overview of the existing relevant methodologies, tools, best practices and repositories of solutions for the climate adaptation and risk management of the built environment. The mapping activity will address different spatial scales (buildings, neighbourhoods and communities) in relation to the most relevant climatic hazards affecting the central European macro-region. The mapping activity will be carried out at both transnational and local levels in the participating countries. The task will develop an online interactive inventory accessible from the project's website and from relevant adaptation platforms (e.g. Climate ADAPT). A kick-start exchange session (workshop) will be organised among PPs to share their knowledge and experience. A roundtable with relevant stakeholders in each of the 5 pilot territories will be organised to collect inputs. Task leader is LP1.
'''Introduction:'''The increasing intensity and frequency of climate-related hazards present significant challenges to the built environment across Europe and beyond. With changing weather patterns and escalating climate risks, proactive adaptation and risk management approaches are essential. The [https://www.interreg-central.eu/projects/superbe/ SuPeRBE] project addresses these challenges by providing agile, integrated adaptation strategies for local and regional authorities. Moreover, it offers a digital toolkit featuring multi-scale assessments, decision-making methodologies, and 3D simulation platforms to support building adaptation. SuPeRBE engages municipalities across four countries to test and refine these tools based on their specific needs.
As part of A1.1, the project’s first activity, SuPeRBE developed an interactive, wiki-based inventory. This inventory provides a structured overview of methodologies, tools, and solutions for climate adaptation and risk management in the built environment. Through a mapping activity facilitated by local experts from five pilot regions, the inventory categorizes national and transnational climate adaptation databases based on spatial scales—buildings, neighborhoods, and communities—and focuses on relevant climatic hazards in the Central European macro-region. Resources are organized according to specific hazards, such as floods, droughts, storms, and heatwaves, and include future climate prediction tools, real-time weather warnings, and sector-specific impact assessments. These resources cover various spatial scales, ensuring users can access relevant tools for managing climate risks at the appropriate planning level in Central Europe.
The wiki-based tool is designed to be continuously updated and features a repository of climate adaptation solutions and best practices, tailored to specific hazards, spatial contexts, and sectors. By focusing on practical, localized responses, this tool provides essential guidance for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders aiming to enhance resilience and sustainability in the face of climate risks.


== Classification of Climate-Related Hazards ==
== Classification of Climate-Related Hazards ==
The EU Taxonomy outlines a detailed catalogue of climate-related hazards that must be taken into account as a minimum standard, as specified in the Climate Delegated Act (Annex I, Appendix A). These hazards are categorized into two main types:Chronic and Acute
The provided list of hazards in the Delegated Regulation is indicative rather than exhaustive.

'''INFO:'''
Climate hazard assessment tools are online platforms or GIS (Geographic Information System) applications designed to help governments, organizations, businesses, and individuals assess the risks of various natural hazards. These tools focus on risks like floods, droughts, storms, heatwaves, and other climate-related hazards. The tools often provide detailed maps and data, allowing users to evaluate the vulnerability of specific locations (e.g., buildings, neighborhoods, communities) and to develop appropriate adaptation strategies.

Introduction:The increasing intensity and frequency of climate-related hazards present significant challenges to the built environment across Europe and beyond. With changing weather patterns and escalating climate risks, proactive adaptation and risk management approaches are essential. The SuPeRBE project addresses these challenges by providing agile, integrated adaptation strategies for local and regional authorities. Moreover, it offers a digital toolkit featuring multi-scale assessments, decision-making methodologies, and 3D simulation platforms to support building adaptation. SuPeRBE engages municipalities across four countries to test and refine these tools based on their specific needs. As part of A1.1, the project’s first activity, SuPeRBE developed an interactive, wiki-based inventory. This inventory provides a structured overview of methodologies, tools, and solutions for climate adaptation and risk management in the built environment. Through a mapping activity facilitated by local experts from five pilot regions, the inventory categorizes national and transnational climate adaptation databases based on spatial scales—buildings, neighborhoods, and communities—and focuses on relevant climatic hazards in the Central European macro-region. Resources are organized according to specific hazards, such as floods, droughts, storms, and heatwaves, and include future climate prediction tools, real-time weather warnings, and sector-specific impact assessments. These resources cover various spatial scales, ensuring users can access relevant tools for managing climate risks at the appropriate planning level in Central Europe. The wiki-based tool is designed to be continuously updated and features a repository of climate adaptation solutions and best practices, tailored to specific hazards, spatial contexts, and sectors. By focusing on practical, localized responses, this tool provides essential guidance for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders aiming to enhance resilience and sustainability in the face of climate risks.

Classification of Climate-Related Hazards[edit]

The EU Taxonomy outlines a detailed catalogue of climate-related hazards that must be taken into account as a minimum standard, as specified in the Climate Delegated Act (Annex I, Appendix A). These hazards are categorized into two main types:Chronic and Acute

The provided list of hazards in the Delegated Regulation is indicative rather than exhaustive.

Revitalization of the House for Children and Youth School Český Krumlov/Czechia Heatwave and warming trend Energy The aim of the refurbishment was to find a solution that would be in line with the requirements of preservation of monuments in the historic environment, but which would also allow to increase the building technical quality and lead to energy savings. In cooperation with the conservationists, a contact insulation system made of mineral wool was designed, which respects the original articulation and profile of the facades. The requirement was to carry out the final finishing touches of plastering work in a manner that preserved the authentic character. It was not possible to use a conventional external thermal insulation system because it would not statically support the decorative stucco elements on the façade.

Method Name Publisher Climate Hazard Addressed Urban scale Description Link
Assessment of vulnerability to heat waves and heavy rainfall The Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) Heat waves and heavy rainfall Community The methodology for assessing vulnerability to heatwaves and heavy rainfall involves a multi-step process developed during the KIBEX project. The vulnerability assessment approach follows (IPCC) AR4 guidelines in which the Vulnerability (not the risk) is assessed using the equation: f (Vulnerability) = Exposure x Susceptibility x Coping Capacity.
  • Exposure: Identifying spatial variations in natural hazard impacts, such as urban heat islands for heatwaves and topographical depressions for heavy rainfall.
  • Susceptibility: Analysing factors like age, health, and socio-economic conditions.
  • Coping Capacity: Evaluating resources and strategies available to mitigate negative impacts.

The method is limited to measure vulnerability of the Population and the Critical Infrastructure.

Climate Risk Assessment on the Municipal Level (Klimarisikoanalysen auf kommunaler Ebene) Umweltbundesamt (German Environment Agency) Generic Community The Climate Risk Assessment (KRA) tool for municipalities, following the ISO 14091 standard, evaluates vulnerability to climate hazards such as heatwaves, floods, heavy rainfall, and droughts. The tool is structured around the IPCC guidelines and incorporates key concepts like exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity to assess climate impacts across different sectors (e.g., public health, infrastructure, ecosystems). The method follows a three-phase process:
  • Preparation (goal setting, data collection, and defining scope),
  • Execution (screening, data gathering, and impact evaluation), and
  • Communication (result interpretation and adaptation planning).

The method involves:

  • Screening for potential climate impacts, using a broad evaluation of various risks (e.g., heat, floods, droughts) to identify priority areas for deeper analysis.
  • Developing impact chains, where cause-and-effect relationships between climate hazards and their impacts on specific systems (e.g., how heat stress affects vulnerable populations) are visualized.
  • Quantitative and qualitative data gathering, including local expert interviews and climate models, to analyze both current and future vulnerabilities.
  • Scenario-based assessments to model different climate futures (e.g., optimistic or pessimistic scenarios based on IPCC’s RCP pathways).
  • This integrated approach helps municipalities to prioritize risks and allocate resources effectively, leading to actionable climate adaptation plans.

The method encourages a participatory approach, involving local stakeholders, and provides practical recommendations for municipalities to plan and implement climate adaptation strategies

 Building The IMMORISK Rating System, developed as part of the German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change, is a GIS-based tool designed to help real estate owners, developers, and prospective buyers assess risks from natural hazards—such as heavy rainfall, heatwaves, hail, and earthquakes—on properties. Since 2023, it is mandatory for non-residential buildings aiming for QNG-compatible sustainability certification.

Key Features:

  • Climate and Natural Hazard Assessment: Users input building-specific data (e.g., location, construction year, number of floors, roof type, building materials, and energy system) to evaluate risk levels for a variety of climate hazards.
  • Quantitative Risk for Hail: The tool calculates annual expected monetary losses from hail damage using a risk model that factors in location, building vulnerability, and building value.
  • Qualitative Risk for Other Hazards: Climate risks such as heat, wind, and heavy precipitation are assessed qualitatively by plotting hazard probabilities against the building’s resilience.
  • Natural Hazard Probability: For hazards like earthquakes, floods, and snow loads, the tool provides probability estimates for the given location.
  • Timeframe Flexibility: The tool allows users to select either current or future weather projections (up to 2100) for risk assessment, based on data from the German Weather Service (DWD) for current conditions and from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for future climate projections.

Building Resilience Index (BRI) International Finance Corporation (IFC), a branch of the World Bank
  • Wind (e.g., storms, tornadoes),
  • Water (e.g., floods, heavy rainfall),
  • Fire (e.g., wildfires), and
  • Geo-seismic risks (e.g., earthquakes)
 Building The Building Resilience Index (BRI), developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in 2022, provides a straightforward self-reporting tool that enables property owners and developers to assess and mitigate climate and natural hazards threatening their buildings. Designed to enhance transparency, the BRI offers a common framework for stakeholders such as banks and insurance companies to evaluate property risk and resilience. The system is intended for use alongside the EDGE green buildings certification, another IFC initiative.

Key Features:

  • Resilience Rating System: The BRI evaluates building resilience using a 5-point scale ranging from A+ to R, with higher ratings signifying lower probable maximum loss (PML). This rating system is based on the "Weakest Link Principle," meaning that a building’s overall rating is determined by its lowest score across four key hazard categories: Wind (e.g., storms, tornadoes), Water (e.g., floods, heavy rainfall), Fire (e.g., wildfires), and geo-seismic risks (e.g., earthquakes).
  • Hazard Categorization: The BRI groups risks into two families:
  1. Physical Integrity Risks: Hazards that threaten the building’s structural integrity, such as storms, floods, fires, and earthquakes.
  2. Operational Continuity Risks: Hazards that affect the building’s operations but not its physical structure, such as heatwaves, cold waves, and droughts.
  • Resilience Definition: The BRI defines a resilient building as one that can withstand natural hazards specific to its location and ideally continue operations without disruption after a hazard event.
  • Adaptation Measures: For each hazard in the physical integrity family, the BRI provides a list of recommended mitigation measures, categorized according to the building’s rating (A+ to C). These measures are aimed at enhancing resilience and reducing the risk of structural damage.
  • Focus on Risk Reduction: The BRI’s primary goal is to help buildings reduce structural risk relative to similar properties rather than compare them to an absolute standard of performance
