Abstract [en]
The paper will give an overview of some existing tools and models that can be used for risk analyses due to natural hazards (landslides, erosion and consequences of flooding) in a changing climate. Tools from several countries have been investigated by a literature survey and a questionnaire. A more comprehensive tool developed by Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI) will be presented more in detail. A compilation of tools has been carried out in the project "Baltic Climate", funded by the EU Baltic Sea Region Programme 2007-2013 and its partners. The investigation shows that there is a general lack of tools for soil movements in the countries in the Baltic Sea Region and that most of the existing ones don´t take climate change into consideration. The paper will present a model that can be used separately or as a complement to more general tools for spatial planning. The tool for soil movements considers the consequences of flooding, landslides and erosion in a changing climate and it can be used on both regional and local levels. The tool is described as a general method with examples from municipal level. The SGI tool has been used in several practical cases both on a regional and local level.
