Definition
"You identified the physical climate risks that are material to the activity from those listed in the list below by performing a robust climate risk and vulnerability assessment with the following steps:
(a) screening of the activity to identify which physical climate risks from the list may affect the performance of the economic activity during its expected lifetime;
(b) where the activity is assessed to be at risk from one or more of the physical climate risks in the list, a climate risk and vulnerability assessment to assess the materiality of the physical climate risks on the economic activity;
(c) an assessment of adaptation solutions that can reduce the identified physical climate risk."
