Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Climate Adaptation Actions to 0_0Al 1 <br /> Integrated Climate Action Plan for the Island of Hawall'i Build Local Resilience to Climate Change <br /> RCP 8.5 is the future greenhouse gas emissions scenario with the highest level of emissions of the <br /> standard scenarios in use for climate change projections. It assumes no measures will be taken to <br /> reduce emissions from current trends. <br /> Risk is the potential for an unwanted outcome resulting from an event, as determined by the likelihood <br /> of the event and the associated consequences.13 <br /> Threat is a natural, technological, or human-caused occurrence, individual, entity, or action that has or <br /> indicates the potential to harm life, information, operations, the environment, and/or property (FEMA). <br /> Vulnerability refers to the degree to which a community is susceptible to adverse effects of climate <br /> change, including climate variability and extremes. Vulnerability is a function of the character, <br /> magnitude, and rate of climate variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive <br /> capacity (IPCC). <br /> 13FEMArjitto-,:e,ie,-fiilr,,is.fema.gov/is 0870a/grcups122.h.tm1 <br /> Key Terms Xiv <br />
