Urban risk & planning

Like a smoky umbrella, wildfire smoke particles blocked incoming solar radiation, cooling the areas below. However, the cooling smoke layer also trapped harmful airborne contaminants.

Researchers pinpointed the riskiest events in terms of lightning and tornado exposure by mining data from more than 16,000 large outdoor gatherings.

Crossover landscaping offers a practical, evidence-based approach to reducing wildfire risk while conserving water resources. Embracing crossover landscapes is a simple way to ensure widespread adoption that protects communities.

Seven European cities and partners have worked intensively together for the past three and a half years in the EU project REACHOUT. The goal was to develop climate services that truly connect to real-world practice in cities.

This study presents the first observational assessment (1951–2022) of summertime hot–wet compound events across global coastal megacities.

This document presents a toolkit, or a practical step-by-step guide, to applying the Strengthening and Enhancing Contextual Urban Resilience (SECURe) framework.

This report presents the findings of the second deep dive assessment of the Knowledge Centre on Earth Observation (KCEO), focusing on how Earth Observation (EO) products and services can support EU policies on urban climate adaptation.

This article presents "Sismopoli", a board game focused on seismic risk reduction from an urban perspective, as a tool to make complex issues more manageable and understandable.
