CLUVA

Introduction to workshop in MunichApril 22-28

Stephan Pauleit, TUM

Munich, 23-04-2012

Major expected results of CLUVA project

• Up-to-date sub-regional climate models( WP1)• Methodology and tools for multiple vulnerabilities assessment

of African cities (WP2)– Models validated with 5 urban systems– Risk assessment and mapping

• Innovative urban planning based approaches to climate risks mitigation in Africa urban areas (WP3)

• Improved African R&D capacity in the related field (WP4)– R&D rooted in socio-economic fabric of the country

• Improved quality of policy decision making and foresight knowledge production (WP5)

CLUVA objectives related to WP2• Assessment of the multiple vulnerabilities of African cities,

emphasis on:– Built & critical infrastructure (Task 2.1)– Urban ecosystems & green infrastructure (Task2.2)– Exposed population (Task 2.3)

• Integration of multiple risks into framework for a multirisk assessment (Task 2.4)

Task 2.2

Objectives of the workshop

• To make progress in Task 2.2: – UMT mapping in the five case studies– Land cover assessment– Assessment of GI dynamics – past / future– Assessment of ecosystem services: regulating, provisioning– Development of indicators for vulnerability assessment of urban ecosystems as an

input to Task 2.4• To make progress in developing the interfaces between Task 2.2 & Task

2.3 as well as with Task 3.2• To further joint understanding of the tasks ahead and knowledge

exchange between researchers from all case studies & the European partners

• To develop a clear working programme for Task 2.2 in each case study: until Dar meeting in July & until end of project.

Workshop programme

• Day 1: Status of Task 2.2 in case studies & PhDs• Day 2:

– Land cover assessment & analysis– UMT as integrative tool – link to GI planning & Task 2.3

• Day 3: – Ecosystem services– Urban modelling

• Day 4: – GI dynamics– Indicators

• Day 5: – Urban Planning– Programming

Principles for the workshop

• It is a WORKshop!• PhD students/ main researchers are the key players• Fexibility – adapt to emerging needs• Result in clear programme/ action points
