Oasis H2020_Insurance project to promote
climate adaptation and understanding of risk for
all
“connecting the dots…. insurance industry…..
science…..municipalities”

Natural catastrophe events driven by the impact of climate change
• Windstorm, flood, drought, forest fire, health……Increased frequency? Increased severity?…What is
probable? What is possible?
• How much of this aggregate catastrophe risk can the insurance industry absorb?
• The State and the EU as the ultimate risk carriers for the catastrophe risk

5
• Insurance Industry under pressure: Ability to modernize & digitize?
• Data Management and Analysis: models to develop risk scenarios that include climate change
• More & better Data is needed to understand the climate impact trends to be observed!
• Automation and technology as a huge opportunity to use existing data in new ways
• Bundle existing competencies in cross-border and transdisciplinary projects (public & private
sectors)
• Collaboration models to overcome national and institutional boundaries
• Improve understanding, monitoring and management of natural perils risk and the impact of climate
change (model everything down to building level /care about climate change and its impacts /
supportive of helping reduce penetration gap /techniques can help cities via standards, open data
++ Cities can do this too! )
• Oasis Loss Modelling Framework and Oasis Hub as a meeting place to facilitate all this work!
• Availability of the Horizon 2020 Insurance Catastrophe Risk Models on the Oasis Platform
• Visit https://oasislmf.org/ !
Climate change Impact & NatCat modelling in Insurance Industry
Current developments and challenges

6
For cities granular data, predictive analytics & catastrophe
modelling & mapping…
• Provide a sound basis to decide on risk management activities
• Improve understanding, monitoring and management of
natural perils risk and the impact of climate change for the
urban environment
• Support strategies for mitigation or adaptation measures, or
transfer of risk into either capital markets or the Insurance
Industry
• Require open data sharing & a harmonization of standards and
systems used by governments and cities (e.g. Loss Database
Architecture for Disaster Risk Management)
Key messages for Municipalities – roadmap to urban resilience

Risk assessment for large-scale infrastructure investments

Wastewater treatment plant is planned to be constructed in Novi Sad, Serbia, initiated in 2021
Excellent cooperation with the project team through individual meetings and
stakeholders workshops

• Analysis of the wastewater
treatment plant climate
vulnerability based on the
European Commission official
guideline: Making vulnerable
investments climate resilient
• Flod risk assessment in Novi Sad
area using the Future Danube
model and OASIS Loss Model
Framework
The planned location of the
wastewater treatment plant
is in a high-risk area with
respect to pluvial flooding

• Development of Climate Change Risk Assessment Study for the Feasibility Study of the WWTP
• Improvement of the design and construction of WWTP, retentions, pipelines and pumping stations
• Improvement of the WWTP climate change resilience and overall hygienic conditions in Novi Sad
• Safeguarding the potable water resources and the quality of the environment in the areas located
downstream and under the influence of the Danube River

Wildland Urban Interface
This service allows the estimation of thermal damages
on vegetation and building materials at the WUI. It can
be useful to evaluate the effectiveness of risk reduction
options like fuel treatment strategies (forest cleaning
within the vicinity of buildings or of the urban interface,
forest cleaning near isolated assets in forests) on
wildfire exposure at the WUI scale, depending on local
conditions of wind, topography and vegetation.
Implementation of the SWIFFT model, a raster-based
model inherently designed to model fire patterns in
heterogeneous landscapes.

The health damage function
Combining health and environmental data
• Damage Function (exposure-response functions)
• Current impact
COST = Attributable Admissions
HEALTH + ENVIRONMENTAL
E-R functions  RR
Data available on OASIS Hub:
https://oasishub.co/
• Environmental database: air pollution
and temperature by district – Berlin and
Potsdam – 2012/2016.
• COPD hospital admissions cost
attributable to air pollution exposure by
district based on WHO reported relative
risks – 2012/2016.
