Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document specifies what climate data from climate projections are and where to find relevant climate data suited for infrastructure climate adaptation and resilience-building needs. This document gives support to both standards users and standards writers (with the emphasis on the former) whether detailed climate data and information is specified in a standard, such as in a National Annex, or the standard requires the user to determine relevant climate data and information as a separate exercise. This document is relevant to all climate system data. Users of this Technical Report can also find this document helpful in dealing with derived climate system data, e.g. atmospheric pollution, flooding,ground water levels, wave heights. In addition, guidance is provided for designers of cross-border infrastructure systems, for example on the harmonisation of climate data used.

This document is intended for infrastructure owners, designers, operators and maintainers and staff of central/ regional authorities who are responsible for infrastructure within countries that are associated with CEN/CENELEC. Users includes the national standards’ bodies and authorities who will be responsible for the use of climate data in national annexes to standards.

The document does not define or prescribe the broader climate service delivery process, co-production methodologies, or stakeholder engagement practices.
