Types of scenarios• Qualitative/quantitative

• Anticipatory/exploratory

• Participatory/non-participatory

• Baseline/policy scenarios– Baseline scenarios describe the state of the future without

including additional or new environmental policies.– Policy scenarios describe the state of the future taking into account

additional policies or measures to those already adopted.

• Four scenarios (scenario families)

• Each storyline describes a demographic, social, economic, technical and policy future

• For the whole storylines a set of 40 quantitative scenarios were developed by six different modelling approaches.

Urban Climate and Urban Planning

Dr.-Ing. René Burghardt

1. What is meant by climate protection and climate adaption? (slide 54)

2. Please describe (fill in) the different urban climate influencing factors

2. Please describe (fill in) the different urban climate influencing factors (slide 23)

What is the thermal comfort of human, and which are the main influence factors? (slide 47)

Relevant meteorological factors: -radiation -air temperature -humidity -wind

Definition ”Thermal comfort” Since humans are always exposed to changing and different climatic conditions, the thermal sensation describes the subjective assessment of climatic effects on humans. This can be positive or negative and depends on various factors. Thermal comfort refers here to the "feel good" under certain climatic conditions.

Thermal Comfort in Buildings

Prof. Dr. Ing. Anton Maas‐

What is the definition for thermal comfort? Why is thermal comfort so important?(slide 7, 8)

What is the recommended ventilation-strategy at day and night in summer under northern European (German) conditions? Please describe why. (Slide 19)

Please illustrate in a few words some measures (user behavior or technical) to ensure adequate thermal comfort in summer as shown in the lecture. (Slide 27)

Industrial Risk Management: Climate Change Implications for

Industry

Prof. Dr. Michael Hiete Rapresented by Max Rehberger & Johanna Lee

How can "risk" be defined?(slide 10)

Risk = frequency severity

Give examples where climate change will alter industrial risks. How do these risk fit in the risk type model? (slides 15-18, 20)

What are the main steps in risk management? And how can risks be treated? (slide 24)

Risk analysis

Riskidentification

Riskassessment

Risktreatment

Risk monitoring

Risk treatment optionsAvoidReduce (optimize, mitigate)Share (transfer, outsource or

insure)Restrain (accept and budget)
