Welcome to ClimateRisk

ClimateRisk is an open-source repository that conducts climate risk (e.g., tropical cyclone, flood, earthquake, landslide etc.) and adaptation analysis, focusing on the New Zealand transportation sector (e.g., State highway, local roads, railway, supply chain, road fatalities etc.).

The base model used in ClimateRisk is CLIMADA. Additional New Zealand specifications have been added with a range of options for visualization. The codes for ClimateRisk can be accessed here.

(left: accumulated impact costs (between 1980 and 2080) from rcp45 for the state highway, with a total of estimated state highway asset value of $52b; middle: accumulated impact costs (between 1980 and 2080) from rcp45 for the national railway, with a total asset value of $2.1b; right: accumulated impact costs (between 1980 and 2080) from rcp45 for Metlink, the normalized asset value 1.0 is used)

Note

This is an onging effort. Any issues/suggestions for this system please go to Sijin ZHANG at zhans@transport.govt.nz
