scope:

This Recommendation describes a framework for assessing climate change risks to telecommunication and electrical facilities. This Recommendation includes an overview of climate change-related risks, requirements for climate change risk assessment methodology, risk assessment methodology and considerations for using the defined methodology.

Development of climate change risk factors or of a weighting scheme for an individual risk factor is outside the scope of this Recommendation, as is the development of interpretation criteria for assessment results.

It should be noted that the methodology defined in this Recommendation is not intended for comparison among different organizations, but is mainly targeted at self-assessment purposes.
