The frequency and severity of climate-related disasters have been increasing over the past 20 years. According to climate change projections, this will worsen in the coming decades. The EU-funded ICARIA project will use asset-level modelling to understand climate-related direct and indirect impacts provoked by complex, compound and cascading disasters and the risk reduction that suitable, sustainable and cost-effective adaptation solutions provide. The project focuses on critical assets and infrastructures not designed to consider potential changes to climate, as well as on housing and natural land areas. ICARIA will implement and replicate innovative methods and multi-risk assessment approaches in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, the South Aegean archipelago and the Salzburg region in Austria. The project will assist risk owners in assessing adaptation solutions' costs and benefits.
