Climate risk services for Austria - example of drought

• What is a climate risk service? What are the requirements?

• Which decisions in the context of climate change adaptation can such a service support?

• Who are the users? Who provides data and information?

• What content does a climate risk service need, for example for drought?

The objective of the ACRP project (2022-2025) CRiSDA was to support a knowledge-based, comprehensive climate risk management by co-creating and researching essential building blocks for a climate risk service for Austria using drought as an example. Together with potential end-users, a co-creation methodology for identifying the requirements of such a service was be developed and employed.

Moreover, CRiSDA added a climate risk perspective to climate services, by broadening the concept from a hazard focus towards risk through the inclusion of exposure and vulnerability.

Funding

CRiSDA was funded by the ‘Klima- und Energiefonds’ within the context of ‘Austrian Climate Research Program’ from 01.10.2022 - 28.02.2025.
