UCR Trialogue / Urban Climate Resilience Trialogue
Project number: BBPL0300096
Project title: UCR Trialogue / Urban Climate Resilience Trialogue
Main objective of the project:
The Urban Climate Resilience Trialogue project is developing methods for sustainable green space management in Erkner and Zielona Góra for the purpose of adapting to climate change, involving local government, science and civil society. The methods include the creation of urban climate maps, the development of a catalogue of solutions for sustainable green space management, the piloting of redesign measures on four pilot sites in Erkner and Zielona Góra, and the development of guidelines for transferring the results to other cities.
Actions / Work packages:
1. Establishing the project foundations: kick-off, setting up working groups, establishing a communication structure
- Opening event with city tour in Erkner (1st international meeting); communication strategy.
2. Finalisation of urban climate maps and catalogue of solutions, measurement of pilot areas, selection of implementation measures
- Project event with city tour in Zielona Góra (2nd international meeting);
- Creation and presentation of urban climate maps for Erkner and Zielona Góra by Working Group 1 ‘Urban Climate Maps’ formed as part of Action Package 1;
- Preparation and presentation of a catalogue of solutions for green spaces (‘Kubiret’) by Working Group 2 ‘Catalogue of Solutions’, which was formed as part of Action Package 1;
- Measurement of baseline values in the pilot areas in Erkner and Zielona Góra by Working Group 3 ‘Pilot Actions’;
- Communication in connection with the project and publication and dissemination of results: urban climate maps of Erkner and Zielona Góra, catalogue of solutions, baseline values for the pilot areas.
3. Implementation of the changes on the pilot sites in Erkner and Zielona Góra, evaluation and publication of the results
- Implementation of the changes on the pilot sites in Erkner and Zielona Góra, measurement of the changed parameters;
- Closing event in Zielona Góra (3rd international meeting);
- Publication of project results and UCR guidelines on the project website, in newsletters, at networking events/conferences and on knowledge platforms.
Output:
Work package 1:
Participation in cross-border joint actions (60 people)
Work package 2:
Participation in cross-border joint actions (100 people)
Work package 3:
Participation in cross-border joint actions (80 people)
Implementation of four pilot projects on two sites each in Erkner and Zielona Góra (four pilot projects)
UCR Trialogue Guide (1 solution)
Outcome of the project:
An UCR guide will be created that brings together the project results:
- List of data sources for urban climate assessment
- Urban climate maps for Erkner and Zielona Gora
- Solution catalogue “Kubiret” (concept for using biodiversity-rich retention areas to cool urban spaces)
- Documentation of the pilot projects
- Evaluation of the pilot projects.
The UCR guide (German, Polish, English) will present the results of the selected and implemented measures across borders and serve as a guide for urban climate adaptation.
The UCR guidelines will be made available to the public.
