DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces a modern framework for climate ri
 sk assessment and illustrates its application through examples ranging fro
 m the sub-national to the European scale. A particular focus is placed on 
 the first European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA)\, highlighting both its
  conceptual foundations and practical relevance for policy-making.\n\nThe 
 talk discusses how quantitative and qualitative information can be systema
 tically integrated within climate risk assessments\, and how impact chains
  can serve as a coherent conceptual backbone linking hazards\, exposure\, 
 vulnerability\, and impacts. Special attention is given to cascading and c
 ompound risks\, as well as to the critical role of non-climatic risk drive
 rs in shaping climate risks.\n\nBy reflecting on lessons learned from EUCR
 A and related assessments\, the presentation aims to contribute to the ong
 oing discussion on robust\, policy-relevant climate risk assessment approa
 ches that go beyond single-hazard perspectives and better capture real-wor
 ld complexity.
