However, understanding and analyzing the climate risks and assessing the resilience of spatially-distributed critical infrastructures while taking into account the changing climate is inherently complex and challenging due to various factors such as the uncertainties associated with extreme climate hazards, intensity of exposure of critical infrastructures, performance of existing response and recovery measures, interdependencies and complexities of critical infrastructure networks, widespread failure impacts and associate costs.
Therefore, as highlighted in the UN’s Sendai Framework for disaster risk management 2015-2030, analyzing and managing the risks of disasters while accounting for the changing climate, play crucial roles in building more resilient societies and critical infrastructures (such as transport, energy, water, waste, ICT). Overall, more than 1.5 billion people have been globally affected by such disasters. Motivation: Economic and social consequences of natural hazards (such as surface flooding, river flooding, landslide, heat wave, wildfire, hurricanes, droughts, coastal flooding) have gained a lot of national and international attention in the last decades, since frequency and intensity of such natural disasters have been increasing due to climate change.
