Compound extreme weather events in Quebec: Exploratory study and prioritization using a participatory multi-criteria approach
Summary of the presentation
Awareness of the greater frequency and impacts of certain compound climate events is gradually increasing in Quebec. In this context, the aim of this project is to identify the compound climate events that should be studied and rank them by priority. This assessment will ultimately guide and structure efforts to improve and share the climate knowledge required for decision-making and potentially information on adaptation measures. 45 different combinations were identified during interviews with Ouranos partners, 18 of which were deemed particularly concerning. These compound events were then ranked using a participatory multi-criteria method to identify those on which research efforts and knowledge transfer should be focused.
Objectifs d'apprentissage :
Learn about the compound climate events that Ouranos’ partners find concerning
Explain the nature and formats of the desired information on these compound events
Identify the priority level of these events to effectively guide research efforts
