Adaptation to climate change - Guidelines on using climate data in infrastructure standards
Abstract
This document specifies what future climate data is and where to find relevant climate data suited for infrastructure climate adaptation and resilience-building needs. This document gives support to standards writers and users, 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 focuses on the following climate system data: wind, temperature, precipitation, humidity, sea level rise. In addition, Information is provided for how data is to achieve cross-border consistency where necessary. 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 where they exist.
