“…The research presented here did not go as far as other studies that do full risk assessments (e.g. [266,267]), where climate change risk is expressed as a value, often calculated by a combination of impact and likelihood scores [268]. To enable an effective response to many of the challenges, an assessment requires site and company specific information, since impacts are affected by the varying farm management strategies and local conditions.…”

This study demonstrates how a comprehensive knowledge base can be used by the aquaculture industry, researchers, and policymakers as a foundation for more targeted and detailed climate change impact analysis, risk assessments and adaptation planning. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) production in Norway was used as a case study and to illustrate the need to consider impacts from multiple stressors across different production stages and the wider supply chain. Based on literature searches and industry news, a total of 45 impacts and 101 adaptation responses were identified. Almost all impacts were linked to multiple climate stressors, and many adaptation responses can be used for a range of impacts. Based on the research, a move towards more targeted and detailed assessments is recommended. This can be facilitated through a strong knowledge base, further research to address complexities, and better communication between all stakeholders. The results also demonstrate the need for more climate change research that reflects the challenges that the aquaculture sector faces, where multiple stressors and the range of impacts across production stages and the wider supply chain are included. Highlighting the wide range of stressors, impacts and adaptation responses provides a more holistic understanding of the real-world complexities that aquaculture producers face. This again could facilitate adoption of more effective responses to climate change needed to maintain or increase production sustainably.

“…They include reviewing of the design of installations located along the coastline, building concrete walls and dikes, taking flood defense measures, improving drainage systems, developing alarm safety flood systems, increasing the storage capacity for vital equipment and supplies, etc. [5,30]. As there is uncertainty concerning climate stability in projections beyond the period 2040-2050 [72], the development and fast deployment of early warning systems, efficient responders' engagement, as well as establishment of collaboration between stakeholders, along with flexible and robust designs, are of great importance for managing climate risks and adapting to the consequences of climate change [5].…”

“…These risk assessment methodologies are either qualitative, quantitative with probabilistic analysis, or semiquantitative approaches with the use of risk matrices [25]. Recently, several climate quantification approaches (QRA) have been developed for different sectors, or with respect to different climate hazards [26,27], while evaluation of risks through the use of risk matrices has been accomplished [28][29][30]. Recently, an integrated risk assessment methodology was established by Ebad Sichani et al [31], who studied the climate change impacts of hurricane events to the oil industry and estimated the risk in terms of monetary losses.…”

“…The period up to 2050 corresponds to the remaining lifetime of the majority of process equipment, before it has to be restored or even shutdown due to environmental legislation [43]. The new estimated likelihood approach, which takes into account climate change to calculate the initial probability of a climate risk scenario, was incorporated into the existing risk assessment methodology to increase the resilience of operations, explicitly taking into account future risks of the infrastructure [30].…”

Incorporating Future Climate Scenarios in Oil Industry’s Risk Assessment: A Greek Refinery Case Study

et al. 2021

The impacts of climate change are anticipated to become stronger in the future, leading to higher costs and more severe accidents in the oil industry’s facilities and surrounding communities. Motivated by this, the main objective of this paper is to develop, for the oil industry, a risk assessment methodology that considers future climate projections. In the context of an action research effort, carried out in a refinery in Greece, we adapted the organization’s extant risk management approach based on the Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM) and suggested a risk quantification process that incorporates future climate projections. The Climate Risk Assessment Matrix (CRAM) was developed to be used to assess the exposure of the facility’s assets, including human resources, to future climate risks. To evaluate CRAM, a comparison with RAM for the specific organization for the period 1980–2004 was made. Next, the application of CRAM for the period 2025–2049 indicated that, even though the resilience of the operations of the company to extreme conditions seems adequate at present, increased attention should be paid in the future to the resilience of refinery processes, the cooling system, and human resources. Beyond the specific case, the paper provides lessons for similar organizations and infrastructures located elsewhere.
