Climate change risks consist of three basic components including sensitivity, exposure, and possibility. Uncertainty, future events, damages, and relativity are the major features of climate change risk. Climate change risk research includes two key steps: risk assessment and risk management, the former is the process, and the latter is the ultimate goal which is the basis for actions to address climate change. We present the main framework and methods for climate change risk research. A case study on China's floods risk is taken as an example of climate change risk study. Finally, we point out main aspects of climate change risk research, including ensemble-based probabilistic projection, quantitative risk assessment, risk zoning and mapping, and risk management.展开更多

In this paper, based on the fuzzy characteristics of contract risks, and overcoming the traditional disadvantages of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) of contract conclusion is proposed for meeting the actual need of equipment procurement contract risk assessment, and implementing the risk factors qualitative and quantitative assessments of different working nodes in contract conclusion. Thus, a scientific and reliable important basis is provided for the risk management of equipment procurement contract.展开更多

This risk measure is the sum of conditional value-at-risk of each period. The authors model it by Markov decision processes and derive its optimality equation. This equation is further transformed equivalently to an analytically tractable one. The authors then use the model and its results to a multi-period portfolio optimization when the return rate vectors at each period form a Markov chain.展开更多

Climate change risks consist of three basic components including sensitivity, exposure, and possibility. Uncertainty, future events, damages, and relativity are the major features of climate change risk.

We present the main framework and methods for climate change risk research. A case study on China's floods risk is taken as an example of climate change risk study.
