This document provides a demonstration of CLIMADA, a platform for probabilistic climate risk quantification and adaptation economics. It summarizes the key steps to generate hazard data from tropical cyclone tracks, create exposure data for Bangladesh, define vulnerability through impact functions, and calculate risk metrics like expected annual damage. The demonstration shows how CLIMADA can be used to model current and potential future climate risks.
CLIMADA is an open-source and open-access global probabilistic risk modelling and adaptation economics platform. It provides decision makers from local to national scales with a rigorous risk management approach to identify, assess, and propose cost-effective adaptation measures to address weather and climate risks. CLIMADA uses probabilistic hazard simulations and intensity-impact functions to quantify risk from events like tropical cyclones, floods, droughts and more. It then evaluates how risk may change in the future from socioeconomic development and climate change to help prioritize adaptation options.
Marine fisheries, especially tuna fisheries in the Pacific Islands region, are highly vulnerable to climate change. Increased sea surface temperatures and water column stratification are reducing nutrient levels and primary production. Models project that by 2050, 15% of skipjack tuna biomass could move from exclusive economic zones into high seas areas, potentially resulting in losses of over $60 million annually in license revenue for Pacific Island countries. Adaptation strategies are needed to reduce uncertainties, account for potential stock movements between countries' waters, and maintain jurisdiction over migratory tuna stocks to sustain fisheries and economies in the region.
