Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future2The general trends observed indicate that, among other things, there are two impacts associated with climate change that may affect flood risk: changes in rainfall patterns and rising sea levels. Regarding the former, most projections indicate that there may be an increase in rainfall intensity and a greater concentration of extreme episodes. Increased rainfall intensity may cause certain areas of the city to flood, as it will increase the flow of circulating water and test the city's drainage system to its limits. The second aspect is higher sea levels, which may condition the functioning of the drainage system in extreme situations. Under extreme conditions, an increase in sea level would mean that the overflow channels would not work properly, causing higher water levels in the network that could cause overflow at the surface, and therefore flooding in the street. The risk of flooding would affect some areas of the city more than others. For current situations, the conclusion is that for rainfall with a return period of 10 years (T10), The drainage system can function correctly (although it functions under pressure in some sections), but the two future scenarios under analysis both forecast flooding in some locations.Regarding 2018, the city registered 10 intense rainfall events, 4 of them categorized as extreme rainfall events which caused important floodings and affectations to the mobility services as well as economic losses.

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future3The effect that climate change can have on the water cycle, as the different projections seem to indicate, is a slight decrease in resources, especially towards the end of the century, and above all greater variability in the availability of water resources, with increases in both periods of drought and possible flooding in extreme periods. A slight increase in demand is also forecast. This will aggravate the deficit in the supply that the city is already suffering today. Specifically, a reduction of 12% in surface resources and a reduction of 9% in underground resources are forecast by 2050. On the other hand, increased demand on the part of different city uses is estimated to be around 4%. There will there be an additional resource need for drinking water in general for the Barcelona Metropolitan Area of 34 hm3/year and for Barcelona city this is estimated at 18hm3/year.Eventhought 2018 has been one of the most rainy years of the historical series, we came forma a period of 4 extremely dry years which entailed the drought pre-alert by january 2018.

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future4Although there are other factors associated with global change that directly impact on fire risk, the increase in temperatures and decrease in precipitation caused by the effects of climate change, which will lead to plants suffering increased hydric stress, increasing their flammability, will favour an increase in the risk of forest fire. The future danger of fire shows us a situation similar to current danger, but with a slight overall increase in danger. The change in danger with the addition of climate change means an overall worsening across the territory, but with no specific area standing out particularly in terms of increased risk of more fires.Currently fire risk affects 1,000km of the road network, with the risk considered high and 39% of the railway network is also affected by high risk to fires (both roads and railway lines). Forest fires pose the greatest risk to energy infrastructure This risk already exists today, although it is expected that the impact of climate change will slightly worsen the trend compared to the current situation. This impact is mainly felt on electricity lines located in Collserola Park, but the greatest risk is to infrastructure in the metropolitan area, with a lower incidence in Barcelona. Fire risk affects 96% of overhead electricity lines and 44 substations, all considered high risk.
