This standard offers guidance to public and private organisations to assess risks related to the impact of climate change. It describes how to understand the vulnerability and how to develop and implement a solid risk assessment in organisations of all types and sizes.

It also provides examples on the use of impact chains, qualitative and quantitative assessment methods, as well as the selection of different analysis techniques and tools.
