Abstract [en]
With regard to the impacts of climate change, cost benefit analysis was conducted for the performance of preventive measures against landslides in three urbanized slopes adjacent to rivers in Sweden. A methodology is described, which can be applied for stability investigations, highlighting the factors of climate change as well as landslide probability and consequences. The consequences are weighted to the costs of performing preventive measures reducing the probability of landslides. In calculating landslide risks, both the probability and the consequences of the landslides were included.
