Abstract
The main objective of this master’s thesis is to construct a model, which can be applied on a region to investigate the possible future climate changes. This investigation is intended to lead to an analysis of the region’s changing risks regarding natural hazards affected by climate change. The hazards investigated are hydrological and climatological hazards and consist of cyclone, tornado and flooding. The analysis has been limited to a time limit of about 30 years, until 2040. The constructed model is applied to two cases (regions); Mumbai, India and Nanjing, China, to evaluate the functioning of the model. The model is found useful in the way that it gives the user knowledge of possible future risks and associated uncertainties.
