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 future1Summer temperatures rise in Espoo approximately as much as the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere. This will lead to a rising number of heat waves during the summer which will bring about challenges in public health (especially among the elderly and children), increase energy demand during summer (due growth in cooling) and environment management (wildfire, drought etc.). We have experienced exceptionally hot summers for the past four years, hottest being 2018.
13197254409City of EspooFinlandEurope2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. 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 future2As Espoo is located in the northern hemisphere, the temperatures are expected to rise even more in the winter than in the summer. Also, rainfall in expected to rise in the winter. According to a report by Espoo's neighboring city Helsinki, the changing winter conditions are expected to bring about more injuries due to falling in icy conditions in near zero degrees, cause problems in transportation because of snowfall and icy conditions, intensify winter depression symptoms and increase nutrient loads in the watersheds, such as the Baltic sea. In addition, increase in foggy conditions during autumn is expected to disturb transportation. These conclusions and the upcoming challenges indicated are relevant also for Espoo.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. 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 future3In Espoo, rainstorms are expected to increase both during winters and summers due climate change. During winters also the overall rainfall is anticipated to grow, but in summertime especially rainstorms are expected to increase. According to Finnish Meteorological Institute (see section 2.0b), during the end of the century, rainstorm are expected to intensify 10 percent and the likelihood of severe rainstorms to grow. Espoo is addressing the challenge by integrating these changes in rainfall in its planning guidelines, especially through the urban runoff program and upcoming adaptation strategy.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. 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 future4According to Finnish Meteorological Institute (see section 2.0b), the best estimate for sea level rise in Espoo's neighboring city Helsinki is +33cm by the end of the century. This estimate applies also to the coast of Espoo. These changes will bring about challenges in managing coastal flooding. This has been taken into consideration in Espoo. For example, currently the possibilities of coastal and urban runoff flooding is being mapped as a part of planning of Nuottalahti area.

During the current decade the relative share of over 75 year old residents has been growing in Espoo. This indicates that there is a large and growing volume of population in the city that is especially vulnerable for heat waves that are expected to increase in numbers and intensify due climate change. Espoo will address this problem, for example in the upcoming adaptation strategy.
