“…Figure 2 shows the methodological approach used in the study and the key steps are summarized below. In order to achieve the final risk, we used the following procedure, which has been widely used in several studies [19,[26][27][28]: Concerning the climate analysis of the future, the variation in extreme precipitation indicators was performed using the high-resolution simulation (about 12 km) of different regional climate models (RCM) included in the EURO-CORDEX initiative [17,18]. The simulation considered was obtained according to the RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, RCP 8.5 IPCC scenarios (i.e., multi-scenarios approach).…”

“…where x i represents the individual data point to be transformed, x max corresponds to the highest value and x min to the lowest value for each indicator. In this way, every parameter X i,1 is identified by a numerical value from 0 to 1, where the value 0 represents the optimal level, while the value 1 reflects the most critical estimates [15,19,26].…”

“…Exposure and vulnerability data were collected from multiple sources such as online official documents and reports and airport websites. The final risk was obtained by the interaction between hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, properly normalized and aggregated [1,2,15,19]. Quantifying the risk will allow for priorities of intervention in terms of adaptation strategies aimed at making airports more resilient to the changing climate.…”

Extreme weather phenomena are increasing due to climate change and having a severe impact on critical infrastructure, including airports. In this context, conducting climate risk assessments is an essential step to implement appropriate adaptation strategies. In the present study, a climate-risk assessment framework is applied to evaluate the risk of extreme precipitation events for specific Italian airports: Malpensa, Bergamo, Linate, Fiumicino, Ciampino, Napoli, Catania, Palermo, and Cagliari. This analysis is based on the definition of risk as reported by Sixth Assessment Report of IPCC. The assessment of the climate hazard over the recent-past period (1981–2010) is evaluated through indicators developed from re-analysis data, using the Uncertainties in Ensemble of Regional Re-Analyses dataset are provided by Copernicus Climate Change Service. The expected climate variations are evaluated using an ensemble of high-resolution climate projections from the EURO-CORDEX initiative for the short- (2021–2050), medium- (2041–2070), and long-term future period (2071–2100), under RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5 climate scenarios. The information related to exposure and vulnerability indicators are collected from official documents and website of selected airports, and are freely available. The final risk index provides elements allowing stakeholders to implement adaptation measures to increase their resilience.

“…The sensitivity and adaptive capacity of an area are dependent on a range of factors, including demographic and socioeconomic ones [30,39,[67][68][69]. Socioeconomic disparities are linked to the differential capacity to react, cope and recover from such natural disasters [67,70].…”

With increasing urban expansion and population growth, coastal urban areas will be increasingly affected by climate change impacts such as extreme storm events, sea level rise and coastal flooding. To address coastal inundation risk for impact studies, integrated approaches accounting for flood hazard modelling, exposure and vulnerability of human and environmental systems are crucial. In this study, we model the impacts of sea level rise on coastal inundation depth for County Dublin, the most extensively urbanized area in Ireland, for the current period and for 2100 under two Representative Concentration Pathways RCP 4.5 and 8.5. A risk-centred approach has been considered by linking the information on coastal flood-prone areas to the exposure of the urban environment, in terms of potential future land cover changes, and to the socioeconomic vulnerability of the population. The results suggest significant challenges for Dublin city and the surrounding coastal areas, with an increase of around 26% and 67% in the number of administrative units considered at very high risk by the end of the century under a RCP 4.5 and 8.5, respectively. This study aims to contribute to existing coastal inundation research undertaken for Ireland by (i) providing a first-level screening of flooding hazards in the study area, (ii) demonstrating how land cover changes and socioeconomic vulnerability can contribute to the level of experienced risk and (iii) informing local authorities and at-risk communities so as to support them in the development of plans for adaptation and resilience.
