Triple-A Toolkit
To support the up taking process for climate services that the project envisions, REACHOUT adopts a tested methodological framework to organize its tools and services that consist of three pillars: Analysis, Ambition and Action.
The Triple-A toolkit is compiled from a concrete set of proven successful tools, climate information branched off the C3S portal, and a set of background data layers on land use and socio economic indicators. The toolkit offers the basis for making tailored, fit-for-purpose visualizations and services that allow end-users to understand the potential impacts of past and future climate features related to extreme temperatures, precipitation, droughts, storm surges, coastal and river flooding and associated consequences. In addition, it offers a localized risk assessment to allow for risk prioritization and subsequent identification and evaluation of a broad set of adaptation options in the wider context of resilient urban development.
Toolkit delivery through
Cross-hub development Teams
In REACHOUT a cross-hub development team refers to a team consisting of different members who share a concern regarding a climate adaptation challenge, that bring their own expertise, knowledge and skills to work together on the design and development of a customized set of data and tools (TOOLBOX) to ensure the team delivers a cohesive user experience to support citizens, private sector and/or government to improve resilience to Climate Change.
There are four key mandatory roles/profiles in each cross-hub development team:
- Tool Developers/Researchers who are responsible to develop upon existing tools, datasets and frameworks by iteratively considering functional requirements.
- Knowledge brokers who are responsible to ensure that the tools developed in the toolkit are useful for the city hubs through the conceptualization of climate services tailored to the concrete city needs.
- City-hubs who are responsible to validate the tools in their own context by bringing their needs and challenges.
- City liaisons who guide the city hub on how to use the tool and ensure coordination with research and knowledge broker partners.
Smooth communication is the base of these cross-functional teams so different type of meetings will be (are being) scheduled between team members throughout the project.
