Climate change risk analysis to support resilient development

Time: Thursday 22 May 13.00-14.30
Room: Planet
Session chairs: Lotten Wiréhn, Linköping University; Johanna Alkan Olsson, Lund University; Gustav Strandberg, SMHI, Linköping University, MERGE; Daniel Adshead, KTH Climate Action Centre

Session description

This session focuses on advancing understanding of climate change-related risks and their impacts on society, infrastructure, and ecosystems with contributions that explore compound risk assessments, including risks that may arise from climate actions themselves. Emphasising interdisciplinary approaches, the session addresses how data-driven insights and other knowledge systems together can inform strategies for climate-resilient development across sectors.
