Clarity4ClimateResilience: Advanced Urban Screening
Climate change affects our cities and communities. How can cities adapt to climate hazards without spending millions of euros on climate studies? In this video, Denis Havlik (AIT) and Claudia Hahn (ZAMG) explain an online tool that allows you to create climate studies yourself quickly and easily.
This CLARITY for Climate Resilience (Clarity4CR) webinar explains how and why to use the "Advanced Urban Screening" function of the CLARITY Climate Service Information System. Advanced Urban Screening allows the users to perform rapid urban-scale climate risk assessment in over 400 major European urban regions and thousands of smaller cities that cannot afford fully fledged climate studies.
Agenda
Generic Introduction in CLARITY project (short)
In Advanced Urban Screening, characteristics of different land cover types are used to estimate the heat hazard, population exposure and extent of impact of heat waves on population for different time periods and different Representative Concentration Pathway scenarios.
