Protection Needs Sample Clauses

Protection Needs. Similar to the damage functions, we want to characterise the protection needs in each urban cluster. We consider the defined cost proxy (see Sec. 7.7) as our basic indicator for adaptation needs and investigate its dependence on varying protection levels. It is found that the relation of these two quantities can be well approximated by a power law model C(x) = c1xc2 , (16) where C is the cost proxy, x the desired protection standard and c1, c2 parameters to be fitted. The exponent c2 describes the required additional effort when the protection standard shall be raised and will be used as a measure to characterise an urban cluster with regard to its adaptability Copenhagen damage function Cross plot Damage by Xxxxxxxxxx et. al [billion Euro] Damage [billion Euro] 10 20 15 5 10 5 Flood height [m] Damage by Xxxxxxxxxx et. al [billion Euro] Our damage estimate [billion Euro] 2 Damage [billion Euro] 10 10 0 10 0 −1 −2 −1 0 −1 1 −1 0 1 2 10 10 10 Flood height [m] Our damage estimate [billion Euro] Figure 10: Comparison of our damage function for Copenhagen (blue) with the curve derived by Xxxxxxxxxx et al.

Loosely speaking, urban clusters with a low exponent c2 can adapt more easily to rising sea levels than clusters with a high exponent. The obtained exponents, all lying in the range [0.77, 5.25] with a mean value of 1.94 and a standard deviation of 0.73, are visualised in Fig. 12.
