klimataspekt

Klimataspekt is a compound noun used in Estonian to denote the climate-related aspect or perspective of a topic, project, policy, or analysis. It combines klima- (climate) and aspekt (aspect). The term functions as a generic descriptor rather than a fixed technical field, and it appears across academic, policy, and media discourse to signal the influence or relevance of climate considerations.

In practice, klimataspekt is used to highlight how climate factors shape decisions or outcomes. For example, in urban planning a development may be evaluated for its heat resilience, flood risk, and other klimataspektid. In policy analysis, climate-related considerations might be described as klimataspektide hindamine or arvestamine, indicating that climate is an important dimension of the assessment.

The plural form klimataspektid is common when discussing multiple climate-related aspects of a subject. Phrases may include klimataspektide mõju (the impact of climate aspects), klimataspektide prioriteetide järjestus (prioritizing climate aspects), or simply arvestada klimataspektidega (to take climate aspects into account). The term is often encountered alongside related notions such as climate change, sustainability, resilience, and environmental impact assessment in Estonian-language texts.
