Abstract
Climate change is a phenomenon which can impact working and process conditions, as well as generate new scenarios for atmospheric hazards with potential impact on assets and operations.According to most models, changes will occur over the years’ time scale, allowing industries to plan and implement safety measures, however, measures to be implemented may require significant investment and a rather long time for design and effective implementation.
For these reasons, it is important key define scenarios, plan actions well ahead, and approve investments on a technical basis.With this purpose in mind, Stahl developed a new methodology to assess climate change resilience conditions and support the identification of climate change-related scenarios, the measure that may potentially be implemented and support the decision-making process in terms of investments.
The paper will present the methodology, analysis factors, risk assessment criteria and a worked example.
