Activities focused on:

• The hazard assessment (current and expected climate) was analyzed through a wide range of climate indicators * defined on the basis of literature studies and users of the various economic sectors analyzed. In particular, the expected climatic variation of these climate indicators (very rainy days, heat waves, wind storms, etc.) was obtained by considering different high-resolution climate models. The same indicators were therefore evaluated in the historical period considering the local meteorological data made available by ArpaV.
• The exposure assessment focused on four main receptors potentially exposed to climatic events in the socio-ecological system of Belluno province: (a) the tourism sector, and in particular its accommodation facilities and infrastructures; (b) the eyewear industrial sector; (c) infrastructures for public services and in particular those of electricity suppliers; (d) sport events planned for the near future, and in particular the Winter Olympics and 2026.
• The vulnerability assessment identified by evaluating three components: (a) the capacity to manage adverse events when they occur, (b) the capacity to anticipate and adapt to them and (c) the susceptibility to climate hazard.

The risk analysis aims at assessing climate risk at the local level, allowing “climate-proofing” plans and decisions for different receptors, taking into account multiple hazards, their evolution and the potential hazards deriving from future climate scenarios.
