Analyse and discuss in group work the risks and associated impacts of an adaptation measure by determining the degree,
duration, scale and probability of change in reference to the current status of the environment and stakeholders,
e.g. local communities (see helpful guiding questions in the handout)
Example: Dams are associated with a high negative impact on river ecosystems as they fragment the ecosystem, create a drier
ecology downstream etc. Negative impacts on social, cultural and economic structures complete this list. In comparison, renaturation
is the more attractive measure in this repect.
Insert your results in worksheet 6 and note down critical assumptions taken for the assessment. These will help later when evaluating
the measures during implementation or operation.
