How to apply RESCCUE in your city?

RESCCUE has developed a set of materials to replicate its results in other cities of the world. Check this article to learn how to apply RESCCUE tools and methodologies to make your city more resilient to climate change impacts.

RESCCUE video

Short animation film that summarises the project’s approach, objectives and outcomes in an easy-to-understand-way, as it is addressed to potential-end users (technical and non-technical) and general audiences.

RESCCUE e-book

This interactive online document gathers the main lessons learnt and results from the RESCCUE project. This material is addressed to potential end-users and general audiences and aims to foster repicability of the project’s results.

RESCCUE leaflet

This printable document provides a brief overview of urbanization, explains the concept of urban resilience and finally presents various aspects of the RESCCUE project.

Video: How can we accelerate urban resilience?

The RESCCUE project produced a set of videos about resilience and climate change for the young public. In total there are four videos on different topics, all of them created by Lisbon City Council under the title “Urban Resilience as a continuous process that needs to be accelerated”.

Guidelines #1 – How to use climate scenarios for analysing climate-related impacts in cities

The creation of climate change scenarios, according to different climate variables, facilitates the implementation of adaptation measures as well as reduces the level of uncertainly.

Guidelines #2 – How to analyse the behaviour of critical urban services under climate pressures

Testing different methodologies in order to develop multiple hazard assessment for strategic urban services and infrastructure, providing deep knowledge about the behaviour of urban services under extreme climate conditions.

Guidelines #3 – How tovestimate direct, indirect and subsequent cascading impacts from climate driven hazards

The failure of services due to climate driven hazards may trigger further impacts and disruptions to other services, known as cascading effects. Within RESCCUE, the potential impacts on critical infrastructures and services as a result of climate driven hazards were selected to be assessed in the cities of Barcelona, Bristol and Lisbon for both current and future climate scenarios.

Guidelines #4 – How to globally analyse, diagnose and manage urban resilience with a holistic approach

With a holistic resilience approach, the city vulnerabilities can be identified, together with its critical infrastructures and key relationships among critical services, allowing to understand the existing interdependences.

Guidelines #5 – How to effectively prioritise adaptation strategies to enhance urban resilience 

Cities must adapt to increasing climate impacts, by setting an adaptation strategy based on the context, on its resources and necessities, of each city.

Guidelines #6 – How to develop and implement a Resilience Action Plan (RAP) in your city

Water-related risks may be aggravated by climate change and eventually condition the correct functioning of the city. The Resilience Action Plan finds the best responses for those gaps.
