Readiness for use

Tool broadly used

Applications

The Playbook was used first in 2022, in 4 regions in Europe: Galicia (Spain), Sardinia (Italy), West Country Region (UK), Guadeloupe (France) and 3 cities: Lappeenranta (Finland), Egaleo (Greece), Gjøvik (Norway).

Strengths and weaknesses, comparative added value to other similar tools

Strengths:
(+) Providing a concrete, thought-through methodology to regions that is widely applicable and output-oriented.

Weaknesses:
(-) The tool can be modified rather easily (but good to keep similar to compare results) and is a tool/ methodology for facilitating stakeholder engagement, it generates but does not provide knowledge from the start.

Input(s)

Data on risk factors are collected before the Workshop and complemented by the views of the participants. The risk factors are based on the climate risk models at CMCC/PIK (for the TransformAr project), but in general, could be based on publicly available climate risk data.

Output(s)

The implementation of the Playbook methodology will lead to:
- Description of the hazards, exposure, vulnerability, risks, and impacts of climate change on the community.
- Shortlist measures associated with each level of risk/impact.
