Critical infrastructure: the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) defines critical infrastructure as " Physical and information technology facilities, networks, services and assets that, if disrupted or destroyed, would have a serious impact on the health, safety, security or economic well-being of citizens or the effective functioning of governments in EU States. Critical infrastructures extend across many sectors of the economy, including banking and finance, transport and distribution, energy, utilities, health, food supply and communications, as well as key government services (COM, 2004).
Impact Assessment: Impact Assessment (IA) simply defined is the process of identifying the future consequences of a current or proposed action. The “impact” is the difference between what would happen with the action and what would happen without it. More information can be found here: International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA).
Flood Resilience Rose: The Flood Resilience Rose is a self-assessment tool to analyze the resilience to flooding in the specific FRAMES pilot sites. It has been developed by the University of Oldenburg to support the pilot coordinators in:
- systematically assessing and communicating strengths and weaknesses of the current flood risk management approach in their specific target site, and thereby;
- providing a tool to systematically analyze and improve the resilience to flooding in their target site through the implementation of the multi-layer safety approach.
More information can be found in this document about the FRR, written by the researchers from the University of Oldenburg who developed it.
Risk: the IPCC (2014) defines risk as follows: "The potential for adverse consequences where something of value is at stake and where the occurrence and degree of an outcome is uncertain. In the context of the assessment of climate impacts, the term risk is often used to refer to the potential for adverse consequences of a climate-related hazard, or of adaptation or mitigation responses to such a hazard, on lives, livelihoods, health and well-being, ecosystems and species, economic, social and cultural assets, services (including ecosystem services), and infrastructure. Risk results from the interaction of vulnerability (of the affected system), its exposure over time (to the hazard), as well as the (climate-related) hazard and the likelihood of its occurrence."
Risk assessment: The qualitative and/or quantitative scientific estimation of risks (IPCC, 2018).
Self-Assessment: According to Merriam-Webster, self-assessment is "the act or process of analyzing and evaluating oneself or one's actions".
Vulnerability: The often cited IPCC-definition (by McCarthy et al., 2001) of vulnerability is"... the degree to which a system is susceptible to, and unable to cope with, adverse effects of change, including variability and extremes. Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of change and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive capacity." More on this can be found in Adger (2006).
