Climate related economic losses_superseded (1980-2023)
This indicator considers the number of fatalities, the overall and insured economic losses from weather- and climate-related events in the EEA member countries in the period from 1980 to 2023. Hazards considered are those classified as meteorological hazards, hydrological hazards and climatological hazards, based on the classification by the International Council for Science (ICSU).

Statement
-
This assessment is based on the RiskLayer CATDAT dataset and the Eurostat collection of economic indicators, whereas data from earlier years not covered by Eurostat have been completed using data from the Annual Macro-Economic Database of the European Commission (AMECO), the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) World Economic Outlook (WEO), the Total Economy Database (TED) and the World Bank database.
Data are received from the RiskLayer CATDAT under institutional agreement and have been adjusted to account for inflation. They are presented in 2023 euro values. The implicit GDP deflator is used as an economic metric that measures the price level changes of all new, final goods and services produced in an economy over a specific period, relative to the base year, including those that are not included in the consumer price index (CPI), such as investment goods and exports. As the CPI only reflects the price changes of a specific basket of goods and services that consumers purchase, the implicit GDP deflator is a more comprehensive measure of price changes than the CPI.
Definition of a loss event: the event can occur in several countries; events are counted by country and by year and type of natural hazard. The 30-year moving averages are based on the value of the year and the 29 preceding years. The linear trendline equation uses the least squares methods.
The indicator doesn't use the populations statistics from the last year of the time series but the average of the whole time series. The divide of losses and population is then happening on rounded numbers. Ideally the true outputs are then used, divided by population and only then rounded.
The European Commission is working with Member States, the ISDR and other international organisations to improve data on disaster losses. The JRC has prepared guidance for recording and sharing disaster damage and loss data, status and best practices for disaster loss data recording in EU Member States and recommendations for a European approach for recording disaster losses. Once comparable national databases on disaster losses are available for all EU Member States and EEA member countries and these data are reported, this EEA indicator can build on such data.
