Nine-Step Conceptual Framework for Climate Disaster Risk Assessment and Green Recovery Planning

The objective of this chapter is to present a new and integrated holistic approach to climate disaster assessment and green recovery developed by professor Kwi-Gon Kim which embraces digital technology, and cultural and local context variables within a broad frame of planning and innovation in line with international movements described in Chap. “ Climate Disaster Risk Management—Risk Assessment and Green Recovery Planning: Core Concepts and Identification of Current Issues ”. The nine steps of Professor Kim’s conceptual framework are detailed and lay the foundation for its application to flood risk assessment and green recovery and used by a number of case authors of the case studies in Part 4. The climate disaster and green recovery process consist of nine steps to help practitioners started with adaptation, (Steps 1–2)) delineate boundary of the project, (Steps 3–6)) understand and assess the impacts of current and future climate change, (Step 7) identify significant flood risks, (Step 8) prioritize flood damage reduction options, and (Step 9) monitor and evaluate periodically.
