Description

The guideline for stress testing climate resilience of urban area facilitates effective investigation into climate resilience of your urban area. It also assists in planning measures to adapt living environments to more extreme climatic conditions. The guideline provides an approach to collecting knowledge and information about: a. Sites vulnerable for flooding, drought and heat stress; b. Potential adaptation measures to reduce this vulnerability. This guideline is part of the knowledge portal Spatial Adaptation. The document is a guideline, meaning that other approaches to conducting a stress test are equally applicable.
