CLIMADA stands for CLIMate ADAptation and is a probabilistic natural catastrophe impact model, that also calculates averted damage (benefit) thanks to adaptation measures of any kind (from grey to green infrastructure, behavioural, etc.).
This is the Python (3.6+) version of CLIMADA - please see https://github.com/davidnbresch/climada for backward compatibility (MATLAB).
CLIMADA runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Download the latest release. Install CLIMADA's dependencies specified in the downloaded file climada_python-x.y.z/requirements/env_climada.yml with conda. See the documentation for more information on installing.
Follow the tutorial climada_python-x.y.z/doc/tutorial/1_main_climada.ipynb in a Jupyter Notebook to see what can be done with CLIMADA and how.
