Our storylines will map the impacts of major droughts, floods and hurricanes worldwide on supply chains, value chains and trade relations of European commodities. Sectors of special interest are:
- high-tech materials
- the car industry
- renewable energy infrastructure
Our storylines will:
- estimate the vulnerability of the European economy to extreme weather
- scale impact storylines with future warming
- simulate the economic impact chain for past impacts and compare these with observed economic repercussions
- develop possible socio-economic scenarios for the economic network structure using CGE simulations
- project future economic impacts under different storylines and different socio-economic scenarios
- develop possible adaptation measures to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of the European economy
