This paper provides a review of existing studies of the region and an assessment of climate-related risks for different climate change scenarios. This is an essential step towards understanding what adaptation measures are required in the region, and how effective these are likely to be, including their cost effectiveness. Risk has been defined in various ways in the literature. Risks for disaster contexts typically refer to the likelihood of severe alterations in normal functioning traceable to a hazardous event, when physical hazards combine with socioeconomic vulnerabilities and lead to widespread adverse outcomes.
