Managing risks from extreme events will be a crucial component of climate change adaptation. In this study, we … demonstrate an approach to assess future risks and quantify the benefits of adaptation options at a city-scale, with application … limited share of total losses but a large shock for poor households. The analysis also demonstrates that adaptation could …
