​The Life UrbanProof project proposes a holistic and highly automated approach for supporting municipalities to assess climate change related vulnerabilities and risks, to explore and evaluate the available adaptation options and to develop adaptation strategies, as well as to monitor climate change, vulnerabilities and adaptation.

In the framework of this project the proposed methodology will be applied in four municipalities in Cyprus, Greece and Italy, where vulnerability assessments will be conducted and adaptation strategies will be developed.

The project aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative decision support tool (UrbanProof toolkit) for adaptation planning in the urban environment which will provide local decision makers, stakeholders and target groups with access to visual information on climate change, vulnerability and adaptation in the form of maps and graphs.
