Urban Climate Resilience - Partnership Approaches by URBAN-NEXUS
From the September onwards the EU funded FP7 project URBAN-NEXUS is underway! URBAN-NEXUS will hold its first Dialogue Café on the topic of “Urban Climate Resilience – Partnership Approaches” on the 29th-30th May 2012 in Glasgow. An accompanying Synthesis Report will help inform the Dialogue Café debates and discussions.
For this report, we would very much appreciate your help! By filling in the template
accompanying this article, you can record information that you
consider significant for inclusion in the Synthesis Report. The
sources can be research, policy or practice-related and should be
concerned with the following key areas:
- Health: for instance heat stress/stroke, increasing risk of certain diseases, pathogens and parasitic infections, social impacts of flooding and drought, acute and chronic effects, increasing vulnerability associated with demographic change, ageing etc.
- Sustainable Land use: e.g. Green & blue infrastructure, coastal realignment, urban drainage, flood mitigation.
- Climate resilient governance: e.g. integrated approaches, differing temporal and spatial scales, policy constraints and conflicts, sectoral divides (silos), innovation, learning and leadership, public awareness and engagement, behaviour change and values etc.
- Risk and uncertainty: e.g. vulnerability/risk
assessments, decision-making tools, modelling, projections and
probabilities, scenario-planning, data and monitoring needs -
access, reliability.
Please return completed templates to Sacha@sniffer.org.uk
by 31st January 2012.
The final Synthesis Report will be made available as widely as
possible. Your input will increase the quality of the paper, and
will open up possibilities for linking up different types of
researches, policies and practices and the persons involved in
them.
