Online Training Modules III

The training program developed under 5.1 will be supported by online training modules that will be built up gradually from the start of the project starting from basic concepts and from existing material that has already been developed for existing tools that are input to the triple-A toolkit. Module III will highlight the Ambition tools

Climate Story Maps: Initial story map (phase I, ANALYSIS)

The delivery of hub specific story maps will follow an iterative process within the Hubs, in sync with the three phases of ANALYSIS, AMBITION, and ACTION. The first story map deliverable is about the ANALYSIS phase. User Story Mapping is a compelling example of a specific type of climate service that is well suited to communicate climate change impacts and relevant adaptation measures to a broad group of end-users. Therefore, not only does it provide a tangible product to teach the principles of the co-creation process, the exercise will also produce local narratives and storylines for each of the case study sites, which will subsequently be available to each of the city hubs and their respective websites.

Resilience demonstrators

The resilience demonstrators are the practical demonstration cases that will be built of the applications of the tools in the city hubs. They will be built as attractive online illustrated web stories under the REACHOUT website (D6.2). They can both serve as a additional capacity building material, outreach and marketing material ( D4.5).

Delivery of the beta version of web-based portal to support sustainable use of tools

The toolkit will take shape in the form of a web platform that provides a ready-to-use data and tools (toolkit) connected to needs (WP2 outcomes) built on existing services and frameworks, but complemented with national, regional as well as local sources (including local crowd sourcing/community mapping data of vulnerability. The aim of this Toolkit is to enhance the ‘pull’ for climate services (WP2) and to facilitate dialogues across science-to-service-to-practice interfaces (WP1) by transforming (mapping, aggregating and integrating) the massive amount of climate data and information that already exists into knowledge through a customized set of data and tools (Triple-A toolkit). This Triple-A ready-to-use toolkit aims to unlock the potential of past C3S and Hor2020 Climate services investments by connecting them to a set of successful hazard and impact Analysis tools and stakeholder engagement tools for Ambition formulation, and action identification and evaluation. This set of tools will be established in conjunction with WP2 based on a user needs assessment with the hubs (WP1). The main objective is to improve the functionalities of the initial set of tools and develop new ones as well as establish the necessary connectors to EU, national and regional platforms ensuring accurate data, analysis and/or simulations are available for the development of climate service solutions (in WP2). This toolkit will disclose already existing climate services tools, data and applications (for example coming from the C3S toolbox, CDS catalogue and the GEOSS landscape, CORDEX, CORDEX-CORE, etc.), including sectoral information systems and generic hazard mapping tools. The toolkit beta version will be iteratively developed through an agile process. The toolkit will evolve with the brokers (WP2) and end-users (WP1) to meet their evolving needs. In practice there will be dedicated teams consisting of developers and brokers, with different responsibilities, to deliver a specific service (e.g. heatmapping for vulnerable groups for 3 hubs) based on a scalable tool well-connected to platforms. This easy to use toolkit will contribute to the exploitation of information and data from the Copernicus programme and GEO initiative.

Delivery of the final version of web-based portal sustainable use of tools

Delivery of the final version of the web-based toolkit. See description under D3.8

Climate Story Maps: interim story map (phase II, AMBITION)

The second story map deliverable is about the AMBITION phase. For each city hub, the story map visualizes the story of how an ambition was set and what the ambition entails.

Online Training Modules IV

The training program developed under 5.1 will be supported by online training modules that will be built up gradually from the start of the project starting from basic concepts and from existing material that has already been developed for existing tools that are input to the triple-A toolkit. Module II will highlight the Action tools

Data Management Plan

The generated data in the preceding tasks has to be tailored and communicated in a meaningful way to be used effectively in WP2 Therefore the data will be analysed for inconsistencies data gaps and errors and where necessary converted to the appropriate format for development of the climate solutions WP2 Additionally and considering the different type of hazards and impacts additional indices will be calculated Therefore based on the work in the previous tasks tailor the provision of the data to meet the needs of endusers in terms of format and content Achieving the objective of a sustainable development requires the management and integration of different data sets coming from various sources Climaterelated data is valuable when combined with other data sets eg social economic land use etc allowing to monitor and assess the status of global regional or local environments to discover relationships between them or to model future changes To make sense of the huge amount of data that already exists the one that is being generated on a daily basis and the new or updated one that will be generated adhoc for the cases studies it is essential to agree upon common standards to facilitate their sharing quality control and integration

Report on recommended support for toolkit tools

This deliverable describes which agreements are in place with regard to the maintenance and support of the existing tools and applications that are part of the toolkit. If maintenance and future support has not been arranged, REACHOUT will try to sustain the tools by trying to find a suitable business model for the tools (linked to the market place & toolkit forum and WP4 activities)

Four policy briefs

Over the course of the project 4 policy briefs will be disseminated. These briefs will target the key audiences that were identified (in proposal part B, table 2.1) and that are further elaborated under T6.1. The 4th policy brief provides generic messages, based on the full project experience from co-creation to upscaling, on how national and EU policies can further enhance uptake of the triple A toolkit.

Opportunities and barrier report

This report is the direct product of task 4.1 in which opportunities (enablers) and barriers for climate service applications of triple-A tools in municipalities for the existing European market are assessed. This to prepare for market strategies for the tools.

Report documenting the generic methodology of the toolkit, lessons learnt and with recommendation on further exploitation and development

The toolkit delivery will be focus on societal end users (local consultants & service providers) and how to make the toolkit accessible in a friendly way, including guidance, training material (REACHOUT wiki), the City toolkit forum (Task 6.3) as well as capacity building beyond the Hubs (Task 5.2). The data and tools generated in this WP will be delivered in such a way that it can support the dissemination and exploitation plans. Therefore, this report will provide Open to the World data produced during the project when it does not affect intellectual property rights (IPR) and protection of confidential business information (CBI) in the field case studies. Open data will of course also be available after the end of the project. The data management will be monitored for the entirety of the project duration to ensure FAIR data (Findable; Accessible; Inter-operable; Reusable) (e.g. rules of data set reference and name; data set description (origin, nature and scale, etc.). We will ensure the legacy of the data by providing it to Copernicus; GFCS; UNFCCC and/or other regional, national stakeholders and authorities. The toolkit web portal provides access to the individual tools, including source codes, guidance and training material. The responsibility remains with the developer of the tool (e.g. Tecnalia, Deltares, CMCC). The deliverable documents how the toolkit as a whole or parts of it can be hosted by others in a sustainable way and how a user community can be maintained.

Guidelines for climate service tools in AMBITION

The co-design and co-development approach of this project is based on reframing the questions being asked (in WP1) and rephrasing them into specific service functionalities (WP2) that are answered in a way to ensure that the initial questions are understood and can be usefully and credibly for others. The toolkit co-development is based on the emphasis on science-to service-to-practice interfaces in order to provide an easy-to use set of tools that allow producers and consumers of climate services to listen to each other and explore solutions using similar lenses. In partnership with the end-users in the City Hubs (WP1), task 3.2 functional designs are implemented to further develop the tools in order to make them fit to deliver the service under WP2; Cross-hub development teams focussing om similar developments across the City Hubs will structure the work in an efficient way. A focused dialogue will support the development and evolution of data, information and supportive tools in a manner that is timely and enables manoeuvring across the science-policy and science-practice interfaces. This deliverable summarises the results of this task in form of guidelines for climate services in AMBITION.

Market strategies: Service organization and market segmentation report

This report is the direct product of task 42 in which the marketability of the tools is further explored by identifying user groups revenue models and financing options and thus further exploit enablers identified under T41 from a user perspective

Findings from Hub engagement activities

This deliverable reports on the implementation of the execution plan (D1.2. It describes how services are being delivered to the Hubs, and how exchange between Hubs is being facilitated. The Hub’s engagement activities with its local and regional stakeholders and user groups is reported. The report describes outcomes of the joint City Hub activities by working with different target groups (including citizens, local governments, and the private sector). Several cross-cutting exchange events will also be held to facilitate the engagement and collaboration of stakeholders both in the Hub network and across City Hubs, facilitating knowledge transfer and peer-to-peer learning.

Recommendation and synthesis report on B&I models

This report presents the overarching recommendations on B&I for sustainable use of triple A services after the REACHOUT project lifetime. Three previous deliverables culminate into this one.

Guidelines for climate service tools in ANALYSIS

Report Physical Climate Risk assessment approach for international asset portfolios of real estate investors using European open data and climate services tools

Report on methods and datasets to support Physical Climate Risk assessments for real estate asset portfolios using European open data and climate services tools. The pension fund APG (the largest pension fund in the Netherlands) is involved in the project and will use the REACHOUT results to validate, test and improve their own risk assessment methods and databases. Specific services will be developed for the real estate sector and institutional investors. Especially investors operating internationally with assets spread out over different regions of the world struggle how to capture physical climate risk. In this report we describe results from the risk assessments for assets within the City Hubs. Results will be compared with the existing risk databases of real estate investor APG. An innovative component within this task is to use Artificial Intelligence techniques and crowd sourcing to develop datasets to capture local adaptive capacity and community resilience. In general, physical climate risk models (especially at supra-national level) are not well equipped to capture adaptive capacity and local community resilience. Also, local damage mechanisms at the building level are not taken into account.

Lessons learnt report on uptake and cross case learning

A framework will be developed to define success of CS product application for local contexts in each Hub and be embedded in the stocktaking activities (Task 1.1). This framework will engage different user groups, including traditionally under-represented and vulnerable citizens, inter alia youth, the elderly, disabled, in defining what constitutes successful CS. Additionally, these insights will inform the theory of change and the roadmaps developed for each Hub (Task 2.1). A second framework will be developed for evaluating the CS product development and will be embedded in the iterative development process. The evaluation framework will be applied to identify the enablers and barriers to successful CS products, their uptake and impact. Cross case comparison will be used to surface generalizable factors for successful CS co-development and product uptake and impact. The evaluation framework will take a co-evaluation approach to engage end users in assessments throughout the development and implementation cycles. The success and evaluation frameworks will be applied using an iterative approach that matches the agile development of the CS products and accounts for learning over the course of the project. This report summarizes final outcomes

Market strategies: Service diffusion and willingness to invest report

This report is focussed on the enabling environment for climate services in the EU and will provide recommendations for adjustment to existing policy and legal frameworks and assess and sketch the willingness 2 pay for triple-A climate services.

Report on opportunities and actions for integration of services within EU and national platforms

This report presents the main outcome of task 5.3 on how the triple-A services will be integrated within the EU and national climate adaptation related data and services platforms. The advisory board has a key role in this and will be consulted. Additionally, interviews will be held with other key players. There should be a clear link to D4.3

Final recommendations on service design and development (lessons learnt)

Deliverable describing the lessons learnt from working with the toolkit components across various cities in the various hubs. Evaluation of user satisfaction and 'do's and don'ts' through questionnaires and in depth interviews with key users.
