CLIMADA Project

CLIMADA Project

The CLIMADA Project is a software framework for climate risk assessment and adaptation planning. It enables researchers, policymakers, and businesses to analyze the impacts of natural phenomena and explore adaptation strategies, offering high-resolution global coverage of climate hazards. The tool includes modules for calculating probabilistic impacts and damage functions, as well as a data API for accessing historical and probabilistic event sets. CLIMADA is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is recommended for installation in a separate Conda environment.

CLIMADA solves the problem of assessing climate risks and adaptation options by providing an open-source software framework that enables researchers, policymakers, and businesses to analyze the impacts of natural disasters and explore adaptation strategies, facilitating informed decision-making in the context of climate change.

CLIMADA is an open-source software program that allows for the assessment of climate risks and adaptation options. It works by simulating the impacts of natural phenomena at high resolution, using historical and probabilistic data. Users can analyze potential damage and explore adaptation strategies for different climate scenarios.

CLIMADA uses open standards such as the Data API to provide access to historical and probabilistic datasets of extreme weather events. It is also based on Python and follows the guidelines of the GNU General Public License Version 3, promoting transparency and collaboration in software development.
