The present paper investigates the impact of the global climate change on typhoon-induced wind risk for residential buildings in Japan. It is based on (1) the output from a climate model for an assumed climate change scenario, (2) probabilistic typhoon hazard modelling, (3) reliability-based fragility modelling and (4) failure cost modelling. The objective of the present paper is to demonstrate the availability and effectiveness of a general methodology for carrying out the impact assessment. It also aims at clarifying missing information required for a more precise and reliable impact assessment. Under the employed climate model, assumed climate scenario and vulnerability model and other assumptions made in the present paper, it is found that the typhoon-induced wind risks for residential buildings in Japan are not likely to change significantly in the future.
