Identifying priority areas for spatial risk assessment

We are seeking to commission advice on where spatial climate change risk assessment can be most productive for understanding UK risk and adaptation effectiveness. This project is intended to inform the design of subsequent spatial research activities on quantifying climate risk (and its variably across the UK) and the effectiveness of adaptation (including costings). The assessment of productive focus areas for spatial risks assessment and the case studies and pilot modelling studies illustrating this will aim to better understand of where spatial analysis will be most useful and to the likely challenges associated with national-scale spatial risks assessments to deliver on the CCRA4 aims.

The key tasks are:

1. Assessment of CCRA3 risks for appropriateness of spatial analysis approaches

2. Case studies of spatial analysis of UK climate risks and adaptation potential
