RESilience to cope with Climate Change in Urban arEas – a multisectorial approach focusing on water (RESCCUE)

Description:

The RESCCUE project aims to support urban resilience by providing innovative models and tools to improve the ability of cities to withstand and recover quickly from multiple shocks and stresses and maintain continuity of services under the changing climate. Three European cities, Lisbon, Barcelona and Bristol, will function as the validation platforms of the project outputs. 

The specific project objectives are to:

  • deliver a framework for assessment, planning and management of urban resilience 
  • develop a portfolio of adaptation strategies and test it in the selected pilot cities
  • elaborate Resilience Action Plans (RAP) for the research pilot cities, with the contributions of the local project partners and stakeholders

The toolkit resulting form the project is aimed for city managers and urban service operators in different types of cities, facing a range of different climate change challenges. The approach of the project is holistic and multisectoral and utilizes the HAZUR® tool that enables consideration of urban interdependencies in decision making. The water sector is taken as a starting point for the analysis of interconnectedness of urban systems.
