The possible causes of hazard, exposure and vulnerability in flood disaster were clearly identified by using a climate risk template. Then, levels of exposure and vulnerability with adaptive capacity and sensitivity were further defined by a quantification approach, and the climate risk maps were consequently provided. The potential possible climate adaptation strategies were investigated through the comparison of climate risk maps with diverse adaptation options. The framework was demonstrated in the Kyoto City in Japan with residents as a target population to reduce the flood risk. The results indicate that the government should pay attention to reducing the population in flood-prone areas and adopt diverse adaptation strategies to reduce the flood risk to the residents. Rainwater storage and green roofs as adaptation strategies as short-term planning options are recommended. The construction of detention ponds has been suggested to prevent flood risks in future as a part of the long-term planning process. In conclusion, the proposed framework is expected to be a suitable tool for supporting climate risk analysis in the context of flood disasters. © 2020 by the authors.Climate adaptation strategy; Climate risk map; Exposure; Flood; Metropolitan city; Vulnerability[SDGs]SDG6[SDGs]SDG7[SDGs]SDG11[SDGs]SDG12[SDGs]SDG13Disasters; Maps; Risk analysis; Risk assessment; Risk perception; Adaptation scenarios; Adaptation strategies; Adaptive capacity; Detention pond; Flood disaster; Flood prone area; Long term planning; Short term planning; Floods; adaptive management; disaster management; flood frequency; rainwater; risk assessment; strategic approach; vulnerability; water storage; Honshu; Japan; Kinki; Kyoto [Kinki]journal article10.3390/w120925082-s2.0-85090939281WOS:000582041600001
