Description

It is a relational structure that links Risk Drivers and Urban Systems at Risk.

 

In the case of urban systems, risks are assessed based on two different types of phenomena: 1) natural phenomena; and 2) man-made phenomena. Natural phenomena are events that do not have a human cause; examples include earthquakes, tsunamis, and solar storms. Conversely, human phenomena are events caused by human action. For example, pollution, urbanization, extensive monoculture, and deforestation.

 

[IPCC] Risk is defined by IPCC v.6 as the potential for adverse consequences for human or ecological systems, recognizing the diversity of values and objectives associated with such systems.

 

In the context of climate change, risks can arise from potential impacts of climate change as well as human responses to climate change. Relevant adverse consequences include those on lives, livelihoods, health and well-being, economic, social and cultural assets and investments, infrastructure, services (including ecosystem services), ecosystems and species.

 

In the context of climate change impacts, risks result from dynamic interactions between climate-related hazards with the exposure and vulnerability of the affected human or ecological system to the hazards. Hazards, exposure and vulnerability may each be subject to uncertainty in terms of magnitude and likelihood of occurrence, and each may change over time and space due to socio-economic changes and human decision-making (see also risk management, adaptation and mitigation).

 

In the context of climate change responses, risks result from the potential for such responses not achieving the intended objective(s), or from potential trade-offs with, or negative side-effects on, other societal objectives, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (see also risk trade-off). Risks can arise, for example, from uncertainty in implementation, effectiveness or outcomes of climate policy, climate-related investments, technology development or adoption, and system transitions.
