The complexity of the interactions among the built system and the multiple and varied drivers of climate change highlights the need for a holistic and operative framework for assessing complex risks derived from climate change. A better understanding of these interactions and the factors that increase the vulnerability of the built environment is needed, including the capacity of adaptation and mitigation effectiveness of solutions and responses. This will support the subsequent design of interventions for a resilient built environment. With this goal in mind, this chapter aims to set the base for the framework of a holistic risk assessment. This chapter is divided into two main sections. The first one starts by introducing and reviewing basic concepts about climate change risk assessment, w
