The climate-resilient city and region

Cities and regions face the challenge of preparing themselves for the consequences of climate change and a wide range of crises, whether at the environmental, infrastructural or societal level. The vision of a climate-adaptive, resilient city and region outlines an urban environment that is not only resilient to external influences, but also capable of adapting dynamically to changing conditions.

This involves more than just damage limitation: resilience means understanding the city as a learning, networked system that secures the long-term quality of life of its residents through preventive planning, robust basic services, forward-looking data management and nature-based solutions.
