Climate Adaptation for Cities and Regions: a workshop which provides you the tools to enable affordable climate services
Why attend this workshop?
Like many cities in Europe, your city is affected by the impact of climate change. Now, what can be your response so that your city is more resilient, better prepared, and certainly less vulnerable? We understand the complexity of the challenge. It requires appropriate engagement along with an effective (and easy) access mechanism that should response to your needs.
This workshop intends to give you the key to the current services as well as the required climate information. Whether you are interested in climate service responses for city infrastructure, traffic, cultural heritage, building energy, emergency planning systems and more. The speakers will host small sessions/workshops to present their methodologies, standard processing tools, and best practices applied in several EU cities. Lively discussions with stakeholders will be stimulated. The goal of the event is to demonstrate practicability as well as pave the way for broad acceptance and application of Climate Services and information systems.
