Zusammenfassung
The objective of this research is to provide pan-European evidence at the territorial level on the direct and indirect economic losses due to natural hazards and an analysis of the best practices of disaster risk management and climate change adaptation at territorial level. The research will address the following natural hazards (the list may be expanded): floods and landslides, water scarcity and droughts, storms and earthquakes. This research aims at developing a sound methodology for assessing the economic impact of natural hazards, structured in two steps: a wide-scale methodology to be implemented with the existing data covering Europe, and a more focused and complete methodology, focused on regional/local scale. At least one regional or local entity will be selected to test the methodology. This study will also identify instruments and tools (predominantly in spatial planning/territorial development) for disaster risk management and climate change adaptation measures and provide assessment of their benefits and usefulness.
