2. Climate risks and opportunities are identified and analysed
  • 2.1. Forecasted chances of seasonal climate are analysed.
  • 2.2. Climate risks and opportunities are identified.
  • 2.3. Impact on production of different weather and climate risk factors are determined according to enterprise requirements.
  • 2.4. Qualitative and quantitative risk and opportunity factors are identified and developed.
  • 2.5. Importance of climate variability and significant climate events is evaluated.
