With K.A.R.L.®, you can perform location-specific analyses of natural hazard risks for your residential and commercial properties. In addition to entering the address (or coordinates), the selection of the property type (e.g. office building, retail park, hotel, etc.) is required.
As a result, you receive both a concise summary report (OnePager) and a comprehensive detailed report with an in-depth description of the risk situation of your property (approximately 30-35 pages). The reports are delivered to you via email.
With K.A.R.L.®, you can also obtain climate risk and vulnerability analyses for your residential and commercial properties that fully comply with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy. This analysis is required for Environmental Objective 2 "Climate Change Adaptation" and the corresponding DNSH criterion of the EU Taxonomy.
The analysis covers 28 natural hazards (including wildfire, sea level rise, avalanches, etc.), considers three established climate scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, and SSP5-8.5), and evaluates different time horizons (2030, 2050, and 2085).
The resulting report provides a clear overview of the site-specific situation and detailed descriptions of each hazard. Risks are presented using a traffic light system (no risk, low, medium, high). As usual, the report is delivered via email.
The report is also available in a shorter light version.
With K.A.R.L.®, you can now also access biodiversity analyses within Europe for your residential and commercial properties, providing you with information on whether a site has potentially sensitive ecological features. This analysis helps you meet the DNSH criteria for Environmental Objective 6: "Protection and Restoration of Biodiversity and Ecosystems."
The analysis covers various environmental aspects to provide an assessment of the site's ecological relevance. The site is analysed in terms of its proximity to protected areas (including Natura 2000) and contains information on species found in the surrounding area, along with their Red List threat status. The report also includes data on land use and relevant climatic factors.
The three-page report will be delivered to you via email as usual.
