Living beyond limits: Consequences of missing the decisive decade for preserving our planet’s life-supporting systems
Can 7000 Years of flood history inform actual flood risk management? A case study on Lake Mondsee, Austria
Flood risk models typically rely on discharge records of time series no longer than a few hundred years, which leads to high uncertainty in the estimates for major flood events. In this paper, we investigate the capability of geological flood records retrieved from lake sediment cores to prolong available data sets, lower the uncertainty of flood risk analysis, and detect changes in flood patterns by releasing the common assumption of stationarit…
Climate risk management with insurance or tax-exempted provisions? An empirical case study of hail and frost risk for wine and apple production in Styria
Agriculture is affected in multiple respects by climate change and highly vulnerable to climate risks. To cope with these challenges, appropriate risk management strategies, which consider economic aspects besides effectiveness and technical feasibility become increasingly important. This includes financial coverage of production losses, primarily by risk-pooling through the insurance system in combination with subsidised insurance rates. Alterna…
Ecosystem services and economic development in Austrian agricultural landscapes — The impact of policy and climate change scenarios on trade-offs and synergies
Creativity reconsidered - so your firm is creative, but how much? A trans-sectoral and continuous approach to creative industries
The paper addresses the problem of conceptualization and operationalization of creative industries. It gives a short review of existing approaches and concepts and points to their limits. It suggests new ways of defining creative industries by emphasizing two aspects: the trans-sectoral character of creativity: it is not sectors that are creative per se; and that creativity has to be conceived along a continuum. On the basis of different characte…
Does artificial snow production pay under future climate conditions? – A case study for a vulnerable ski area in Austria
Weather Value at Risk: On the Measurement of Noncatastrophic Weather Risk
An evaluation of weather risk entails two important objectives: indicating the economic impact of weather variability and climate change, and evaluating the use of weather derivatives in weather risk reduction and climate change adaptation strategy. This paper illustrates a straightforward approach for measuring weather risk, which captures both the exposure and the sensitivity of business and economic indicators to weather variability. Using the…
