Description:

Developed in the CASCADES (CAScading Climate risks: towards ADaptive and resilient European Societies) project, the conceptual framework focuses on how a climate impact occurring at a given location may be transmitted across borders, potentially presenting a risk to a region of interest that is remote from the initial impact, which may require a response from actors in that region. Explicit differentiation between different triggers (climate shocks, slow onset events), transmission scales, transmission dynamics, response transmission targets, response transmission dynamics.
