Environmental Impact Assessment Climate Change Resilience

- This guide provides a framework for the effective consideration of climate change resilience and adaptation in the EIA process, through a 7-step approach. Steps 2 to 5 of this approach, deal with CVRA:
- Step 2 – Defining the future (climate) baseline
- Step 3 – Identifying and determining sensitivity of receptors
- Step 4 – Reviewing and determining magnitude of the effect
- Step 5 – Determination of significance

- Alternatively, the guidance informs that if done before the EIA, building climate resilience can be integrated into the project by carrying out a “ex -ante” Climate Change is Assessment. The guide includes a Climate change risk assessment methodology (Steps): 
- Identifying potential climate change risks to a scheme or project;
- Assessing these risks (potentially prioritising to identify the most severe); 
- Formulating mitigation actions to reduce the impact of the identified risks.

Climate proofing of infrastructure

Technical guidance outlining “climate proofing” process for infrastructure, based on 2 pillars (mitigation, adaptation) and 2 phases (screening, detailed analysis). 

The approach for climate proofing of infrastructure, for adaptation purposes, is built around two phases: 
Phase 1: Screening
a. Sensitivity
b. Exposure
c. Vulnerability
Phase 2: Detailed analysis
d. Likelihood
e. Impact
f. Risks

GlobalABC Adaptation Working Group

Data collected over the recent decades shows that the climate is currently changing at an unprecedented pace due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe. Evidence of observed changes in extremes such as heatwaves, heavy precipitation, droughts, and tropical cyclones, and, in particular, their attribution to human influence, has strengthened since 2007.
