C1 - Sustainable Adaptation Scenarios for Urban Areas – Water from Four Sides

The core contribution of C1 to the overarching CLICCS research goal is the development and assessment of sustainable adaptation scenarios for urban areas. C1 focuses on the urban system as a whole, involving a complex analysis of metabolic and anthropogenic structures, their interactions and dynamics.

To this end the project investigates climate-induced stressors resulting from the four dimensions of water, ground water rise, storm surges, riverine flooding, and precipitation-induced flash floods, in their interaction with urban societies’ vulnerability and risk perception, the institutional conditions and adaptation governance.
