The catastrophe of economic loss is brought on by climate and weather change, which is highly complex and tied to numerous causes. And data is the most effective tool for analyzing every aspect, helping to make decisions for better plans and assisting in taking the essential actions. The reason for collecting this data is now a question that may arise. This is why data is required to increase resilience, assist in the development of better adaptation strategy policies, understand the potential consequences of climate change, track the causes of climate change and the factors that cause the most economic loss, increase insurance coverage, assist in the existing decision-making process for insurance companies, and inform policymakers about threatening processes. In addition, it is important to collect the data to monitor the impact to inform policy to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to minimize damage by the management. Furthermore, it helps to plan for getting better infrastructure in the future and forecast the long-term solution.
Multi-layered comprehensive climate risk management (CRM) in Austria – connec...OECD Governance
This document summarizes a research project on climate risk management in Austria. It discusses (1) the background and goals of the RESPECT research project, which aims to develop integrated climate risk management concepts and tools in Austria with a focus on floods and droughts. It then summarizes (2) a stochastic debt assessment that models how flood risks may impact Austria's public finances and debt levels. Finally, it outlines (3) how participatory role-playing methods were used to support climate risk management at the local level in Lienz, Austria.
The document discusses ways to boost resilience through innovative risk governance. It outlines that past decades have seen $1.5 trillion in economic damages from disasters due to increased population concentrations, urbanization, economic integration, and climate change. While OECD countries have made progress in disaster risk management, gaps are still revealed during disasters. These gaps exist in infrastructure maintenance, regulatory reforms, enforcement, and private sector and individual preparedness. Shortcomings in risk governance may undermine efforts to build resilience. The OECD recommendation on governance of critical risks provides principles for a holistic, foresight-based approach involving whole-of-government and whole-of-society cooperation to strengthen national resilience.

Over the past 20 years from 1995-2015:
- There were 6,457 recorded weather-related disasters according to EM-DAT that killed over 606,000 people and affected over 4.1 billion.
- Floods, storms, heatwaves and other weather events accounted for 90% of disasters and Asia experienced the most disasters and deaths.
- The number of weather disasters rose from an average of 205 per year from 1995-2004 to an average of 335 per year from 2005-2014.
- While the number of people affected declined, the average death toll rose from 26,000 per year from 1995-2004 to over 34,000 per year from 2005-2014, showing continued vulnerability to climate hazards.
The Global Climate Risk Index 2019 analyzed impacts from weather-related disasters between 1998 and 2017. Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, and Dominica were the most affected countries in 2017. Puerto Rico and Dominica suffered severe damage from Hurricane Maria in 2017. Between 1998 and 2017, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Myanmar were the most affected countries. Over this period, more than 526,000 people died and losses totaled approximately $3.47 trillion as a result of over 11,500 extreme weather events. Developing countries typically face greater impacts than industrialized countries. Effective climate change mitigation is in all countries' self-interest to limit further impacts.
The unprecedented Australian wildfires since September 2019 have caused widespread impacts. They have burned over 10 million hectares, killed over 28 people, and impacted an estimated 1 billion animals. The fires have disrupted many aspects of life through effects like hazardous air quality over large areas of the country. Whole ecosystems and their services have been damaged or destroyed in some regions, with uncertain prospects for recovery. The extensive scale of the fires in space and time has compounded economic losses for industries like tourism that rely on seasonal activity. Research is needed to better understand and value ecosystem services and disruption from events of this magnitude, which could become more common due to climate change.
The document discusses several global disaster databases including EM-DAT, SIGMA, and NATCAT. EM-DAT is maintained by CRED and contains data on over 22,000 disasters from 1900 to present. It tracks deaths, injuries, homelessness, and economic losses. SIGMA is a commercial database that records both natural and man-made disasters globally from 1970 onward. NATCAT provides comprehensive data on insured, economic, and human losses from natural catastrophes worldwide from 1980 to present.

Governments face novel risks from increased shock events like disasters and crises in complex interconnected systems. Boosting resilience is important to minimize welfare losses. Resilience requires anticipating shocks, adapting, and learning. Major shocks can cause economic losses exceeding 20% of GDP with impacts propagating across sectors and borders. The OECD recommends a holistic risk governance approach integrating prevention, crisis management, and continual improvement to strengthen resilience at all levels.

This document discusses promoting sustainability and a circular economy in Europe. It describes Italy's work analyzing environmentally harmful and friendly subsidies. It advocates shifting taxes from labor to natural resources and pollution to incentivize resource efficiency and a circular economy. Government policies like green fiscal reform and removing fossil fuel subsidies can help finance innovation for sustainability goals. Economic instruments including taxes, fees, and markets can internalize environmental costs.
OECD EU Expert Meeting on Disaster Loss Data, 26-28 October 2016OECD Governance
This expert meeting was organised jointly by the European Commission, the OECD and the project PLACARD. For more information see www.oecd.org/gov/risk/joint-expert-meeting-on-disaster-loss-data.htm
The world stands to lose close to 10% of total economic value by mid-century if climate change stays on the currently-anticipated trajectory, and the Paris Agreement and 2050 net-zero emissions targets are not met.
Many emerging markets have most to gain if the world is able to rein in temperature gains. For example, action today to get back to the Paris temperature rise scenario would mean economies in southeast Asia could prevent around a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) loss by mid-century that they may otherwise suffer. Our analysis in this report is unique in explicitly simulating for the many uncertainties around the impacts of climate change. It shows that those economies most vulnerable to the potential physical risks of climate change stand to benefit most from keeping temperature rises in check. This includes some of the world's most dynamic emerging economies, the engines of global growth in the years to come. The message from the analysis is clear: no action on climate change is not an option.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) on natural hazard and technological accident (Natech) risk reduction practices in OECD member countries. The survey found that while regulations exist to address some natural hazards for chemical facilities, Natech risks are not fully considered. It identifies gaps and needs for improving guidelines, risk assessment methods, emergency planning and information sharing to strengthen Natech risk reduction. Recommendations include developing best practices, risk maps, and providing guidance, training and resources to address Natech risks more comprehensively.
Transform-Europe Productive Transformation discussion paper 2015Dr. Jean-Claude Simon
This document discusses the need for an alternative industrial policy and productive transformation in Europe to address social and environmental challenges. It analyzes the European Commission's Jobs, Growth and Investment Package (known as the Juncker Plan) as an insufficient response that relies too heavily on unrealistic leveraging of funds without meaningful new public investment. The document argues that austerity policies have deepened crises across Europe and that a more ambitious investment plan is needed to stimulate the real economy, reindustrialize Europe, and support its transition to more sustainable models of development.

2015.10.06 climate change, natural catastrophe and political risksFERMA
Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters, making many stakeholders more vulnerable. Insurance markets can help mitigate these risks by providing quick payouts after disasters to aid recovery. However, climate change may increase insurance costs over time. Governments can support insurance through partnerships and improving data, but subsidies need to be designed carefully to avoid reducing incentives for climate adaptation. Insurance is most effective as part of a broader risk management strategy incorporating other measures like infrastructure improvements.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

hazards, such as temperature extremes, heavy
precipitation and droughts.
● To understand the factor which lead to substantial
economic losses
● Used various method to prevent the losses
According to European Environment Agency (EEA), “Total economic losses from weather-
and climate-related events amounted to between EUR 450 and EUR 520 billion (in 2020
euros), for the 1980-2020 period in EEA member states”.

5. Aim of the study and Importance
Despite the difficulty of studying patterns in economic losses and the likelihood that
future losses will increase as a result of climate-related extremes if no action is taken to
mitigate them. Thus, the aim of this study is followed by the below questions:
▪How did they do the monitoring or with the help of what?
▪Who is in charge of the monitoring activities?
▪what are the results of the monitoring and it caused?
▪Are the losses continuously increasing compared to previous decades?
▪Are they taken necessary action or progresses after the analysis?
And, it’s essential and important to monitoring to prevent future losses due to weather
and climate in the economy, society, and environment.

23. WHAT PREVENTION CAN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION TO REDUCE IT
IN FUTURE?
• The impact of such dangers must be monitored in order to inform policy and ensure that necessary actions
are made to limit damage.
• The German Federal Environment Agency is currently working on a research and development initiative
called "Adaptation Frameworks," which aims to document climate change-related damage and expenses
in a systematic and timely manner.
• Climate-related hazards will cost more in the future, depending on the growth of the population and the
value of the assets at risk. As a result, to adapt to and manage the risks, a comprehensive, integrated
approach is needed.
• The EU is a signatory to the UN Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), which calls for an
assessment of disaster-related losses and economic implications, as well as a goal of reducing such losses
by 2030.
• The European Commission's Joint Research Centre, as part of the PESETA IV project, and the G20 Risk Atlas
are working in diverse ways to reduce damage and losses.
• The new adaption policy is called EU adaptation strategy. The goal of this policy will be to increase
society's resilience to climate change by focusing on prevention, preparedness, reaction, and recovery.
24. CONCLUSION
• Around 80% of total economic losses caused by natural hazards in the EEA Member States, totaling to EUR
487 billion, occurred between 1980 and 2020. This equates to 11.9 billion euros per year.
• Fatalities during the same period ranged between 85,000 to 145,000.
• Germany had the highest economic losses in absolute terms from 1980 -2020, followed by France and Italy.
• Switzerland, Slovenia, and France had the highest losses per capita, whereas Switzerland, Germany, and
Italy had the highest losses per area (based on CATDAT data).
• The study also discovered that heatwaves were responsible for nearly 85% of fatalities over a 40-year span.
• To offer a coherent and authoritative picture of losses and fatalities caused by weather and climate-
related extremes, comparable data from European nations is required. This was identified as critical for
reducing the climate protection gap in the European Green Deal and the EU adaption plan.
