REACHOUT will advance Climate Services for urban environments in seven City Hubs across Europe, developing adaptation strategies integrated in climate resilient urban development. Their climate services will be tailored, visualized, and presented in attractive climate story maps. In a series of City Hub workshops, they will build up the narratives through engagement with municipalities within the region, citizens, and the private sector. Not reinventing the wheel, they will implement an approach based on proven success in many cities across the world.
The underlying Triple-A approach has been successfully applied in the Dutch National Spatial Adaptation program reaching most municipalities in the Netherlands. REACHOUT will enrich and improve the Triple-A approach, unlocking the potential of EU datasets and tools established by earlier H2020, Copernicus, GEOSS & JRC activities. They will improve existing tools and services through an agile development process, enhancing relevance by including possibilities for crowdsourcing and engagement of citizens and the private sector. City Hubs apply the toolkit and provide the platforms for co-creation.
REACHOUT brings together a highly experienced transdisciplinary team with comprehensive knowledge on climate change adaptation and climate services, experience in working in cities. Our consortium will bridge the last mile and engage citizens and the private sector through active participation, building capacity and fostering collective action towards ambitions, addressing climate-related vulnerability.
