# CLIMADA

[CLIMADA](https://climada.ethz.ch/climada/) (CLIMate ADAptation) is a free and open-source software framework for climate risk assessment and adaptation
option appraisal. Designed by a large scientific community, it helps reasearchers, policymakers, and businesses analyse the impacts of natural hazards and
option appraisal. Designed by a large scientific community, it helps researchers, policymakers, and businesses analyse the impacts of natural hazards and
explore adaptation strategies.

As of today, CLIMADA provides global coverage of major climate-related extreme-weather hazards at high resolution (4x4km) via a [data API](https://climada.ethz.ch/data-api/v1/docs) For select hazards, historic and probabilistic events sets, for past, present and future climate exist at distinct time horizons.

For select hazards, historical and probabilistic events sets, for past, present and future climate exist at distinct time horizons.
You will find a repository containing scientific peer-reviewed articles that explain software components implemented in CLIMADA [here](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_papers).

CLIMADA is divided into two parts (two repositories):

1. the core [climada_python](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python) contains all the modules necessary for the probabilistic impact, the averted damage, uncertainty and forecast calculations. Data for hazard, exposures and impact functions can be obtained from the [data API](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/blob/main/doc/tutorial/climada_util_api_client.ipynb). [Litpop](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/blob/main/doc/tutorial/climada_entity_LitPop.ipynb) is included as demo Exposures module, and [Tropical cyclones](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/blob/main/doc/tutorial/climada_hazard_TropCyclone.ipynb) is included as a demo Hazard module.
2. the petals [climada_petals](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_petals) contains all the modules for generating data (e.g., TC_Surge, WildFire, OpenStreeMap, ...). Most development is done here. The petals builds-upon the core and does not work as a stand-alone.

For new users, we recommend to begin with the core (1) and the [tutorials](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/tree/main/doc/tutorial) therein.
