Climaax project: Heat wave toolbox

As climate change accelerates, European regions are increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and other climate-related hazards, posing significant threats to communities, economies, and ecosystems. The urgent need for adaptation is further exacerbated by limited resources and expertise in many municipalities, leaving them unprepared to address these escalating challenges effectively. The CLIMAAX (CLIMAte risk and vulnerability Assessment framework and toolboX) project addresses this critical gap by equipping local authorities with advanced tools to develop robust and targeted climate adaptation strategies.

Featuring a user-friendly interface and real-time data integration, the CLIMAAX toolboxes empower municipalities to identify and address localized risks, optimize resource allocation, and foster collaboration with scientific institutions and stakeholders. These innovative tools offer actionable insights for climate risk assessment and scenario planning, ensuring accessibility and relevance. As a vital resource, the CLIMAAX toolboxes enable cities to implement scientifically sound and locally tailored adaptation strategies, building resilience against the growing impacts of climate change.
