D6.3 – Validation of models, methods and technology at different case study v3 WP6: Implementation and Validation at CSA

Abstract

This deliverable – D6.3 – is part of the Work Package 6 (WP6): “Implementation and validation at CSA” led by the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC). The objectives of WP6 are to ensure smooth operation and coordinated case study implementation of C2IMPRESS products towards better model prediction, development of decision support tools and finer robust data generation while validating effectiveness of methodologies, models and tools used to deliver the C2IMPRESS solution, namely: • deploy and validate decision support microservices • estimate future high-impact extreme weather events and evaluate ecosystem risk • Climate Change & Adaptation (CCA) based on scenarios, big data generated and accessed • develop/improve & validate weather/flood forecasting and early warning systems, and Drought Risk Management Framework and • assess ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) for pertinent ecosystem services important to particular Case Study Areas (CSAs). D6.3 reports the final version and outcomes of the validation of different methods/frameworks, models and other activities developed/improved for each case study area, including the final results of the Public Private Civil Partnership (PPCP) approach. For the cases where the models, methods and microservices were already the subject of submitted deliverables, including D6.1, the present document will refer to the submitted deliverables for a more detailed description of the developed work. D6.3 also reports on the tasks developed in WP6, which have not been subject to a previous report, namely the long-term simulation of forecasting models for climate change scenarios (Task 6.1 - section 5), the estimation of future multi-hazard risk considering climate change scenarios at CSA level (Task 6.2 - section 6), the assessment of future multi-hazard risk profiles and their impacts under and different scenarios using Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) and training to stakeholders (Task 6.5 - section 7), and the assessment of the cascading effect of hazards and EbA approaches for future Multi Hazard Risks management (Task 6.6 - section 8).
