ICARIA: Improving ClimAte Resilience of crItical Assets

在过去二十年中，与气候有关的灾害数量逐渐增加，根据气候变化预测，这一趋势在中长期可能会急剧加剧。在这一框架内，通过一个多学科团队和在最近相关项目中获得的强大背景，ICARIA旨在促进使用资产级建模，以更好地了解复杂、级联和复合灾害产生的与气候相关的有形直接和间接影响，以及适当、可持续和具有成本效益的适应解决方案提供的相关风险减少。ICARIA的重点是关键资产和基础设施，这些资产和基础设施在设计时没有考虑可能增加计划外停电和故障的潜在气候变化，以及住房、自然和土地面积。将在三个欧盟地区实施和推广关于气候情景构建、资产水平耦合模型和多风险评估方法的尖端方法，以了解未来气候如何影响未来几十年这些投资的生命周期成本，并帮助风险所有者管理公共和私人基础设施，以评估各种适应解决方案的成本和收益。三个案例研究中的两个，即巴塞罗那都市区和南爱琴群岛区域，位于地中海沿海地区，正面临着日益严重的极端天气事件（风暴潮、洪水、热浪、干旱和森林火灾），造成严重的社会经济和环境影响。第三个区域位于奥地利，是一个受气候变化影响很大的地区，其影响（冰川融化和热浪）直接影响到现有的能源生产资产（极其重要的基础设施）和其他重要部门。此外，其他七个追随者区域（第三方）将是项目后复制的第一批候选者。在这方面，国际珊瑚礁研究所还促进采取若干行动，最大限度地推广和推广主要项目成果。ICARIA联盟由位于6个欧盟国家的15个合作伙伴组成。CETAQUA和AQUATEC共同协调该项目，分别负责行政/法律的和科学责任，并得到由技术中心、大学和私营公司组成的若干技术和跨领域合作伙伴的支持，以及地区当局作为当地关键基础设施风险所有者的参与。

The number of climate-related disasters has been progressively increasing in the last two decades and this trend could be drastically exacerbated in the medium- and long-term horizons according to climate change projections. In this framework, through a multi disciplinary team and a strong background acquired in relevant recent projects, ICARIA aims to promote the use of asset level modelling to achieve a better understanding on climate related tangible direct and indirect impacts produced by complex, cascading and compound disasters and the related risk reduction provided by suitable, sustainable and cost-effective adaptation solutions. ICARIA focuses on both critical assets and infrastructures that were not designed to consider potential climate changes that can increase the unplanned outages and failures, and also on housing, natural and land areas. Cutting edge methods regarding climate scenario building, assets level coupled models and multi-risk assessment approaches will be implemented and replicated in three EU regions to understand how future climates might affect life-cycle costs of these investments in the coming decades and to help risk owners managing public and private infrastructuresto assess costs and benefits of various adaptation solutions. Two of the three case studies, Barcelona Metropolitan Area and the archipelago of South Aegean region, are located in the coastal area of the Mediterranean and are facing increasingly extreme weather events (storm surges, pluvial floods, heatwaves, drought and forest fire) with critical socio-economic and environmental impacts. The third region is situated in Austria, representing an area that is highly affected by climate change with effects (glacier melt and heatwaves) that directly impact the prevailing energy production assets (extremely critical infrastructures) and other important sectors. Moreover, other seven follower regions (third parties) will be the first candidates for replication beyond the project. In this context, ICARIA also fosters several actions to maximize replication and outreaching of the main project outcomes. ICARIA consortium is composed of 15 partners located in 6 EU countries. CETAQUA and AQUATEC share the coordination of the project covering, respectively, administrative/legal and scientific responsibilities with the support of several technical and cross cutting partners formed by technology centres, universities and private companies and the involvement of regional authorities as risk owners of the local critical infrastructuresno public description
