Consortium on Climate Proof Cities

How to make cities climate proof? This research programme aims at "strengthening the adaptive capacity and reducing the vulnerability of the urban system against climate change and to develop strategies and policy instruments for adapting our cities and buildings" (read more). In order to reach this aim, the consortium addresses the questions:

• How and to which extent do Dutch cities influence the local climate themselves?
• How vulnerable are Dutch cities to climate change and what will be the impacts of future climate change?
• Which measures and strategies are available and effective to improve the adaptive capacity of cities?
• How to implement adaptive measures in urban areas?
