ICARIA: Improving ClimAte Resilience of crItical Assets

与气候有关的灾害数量在过去二十年中逐渐增加，根据气候变化预测，这种趋势在中期和长期范围内可能会急剧加剧。在这一框架下，ICARIA通过一个多学科团队和在近期相关项目中获得的强大背景，旨在促进资产水平建模的使用，以更好地理解复杂、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，以及通过合适、可持续和具有成本效益的适应解决方案提供的相关风险降低。ICARIA重点关注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到潜在的气候变化可能会增加计划外中断和故障，同时也关注住房、自然和土地区域。有关气候情景构建、资产水平耦合模型和多风险评估方法的尖端方法将在三个欧盟地区实施和复制，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，并帮助管理公共和私人基础设施的风险所有者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，即巴塞罗那大都会区和南爱琴海群岛地区，位于地中海沿海地区，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），对社会经济和环境产生重大影响。第三个区域位于奥地利，代表了一个受气候变化影响严重的地区，其影响（冰川融化和热浪）直接影响到主要的能源生产资产（极其关键的基础设施）和其他重要部门。此外，其他七个后续地区（第三方）将成为项目之外复制的首批候选地区。在此背景下，ICARIA还促进了几项行动，以最大限度地复制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在技术中心、大学和私营公司组成的几个技术和跨领域合作伙伴的支持下，共同协调项目，分别承担行政/法律和科学责任，区域当局作为当地关键基础设施（未公开描述）的风险所有者参与其中

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
