Summary: This presentation will explore key aspects of climate adaptation, focusing on economic impacts, societal effects, and policy challenges. Topics will include the financial costs of extreme weather events, such as damage from cloudbursts and storm surges, analyzed through insurance data. The discussion will also cover the effects of flooding on the housing market, highlighting economic resilience and property value fluctuations.
Beyond financial considerations, the presentation will examine the positive recreational benefits that arise from adaptation measures, such as green infrastructure and flood mitigation strategies. Additionally, it will address health-related consequences, including the physical and mental stress associated with flooding events. Finally, the talk will touch on policy challenges in climate adaptation, exploring regulatory frameworks, incentives, and long-term planning efforts to enhance resilience in vulnerable areas.
