Climate change and impacts in the urban systems
Urban systems are not only major drivers of climate change, but also impact hotspots. The processes of global warming and urban population growth make our urban agglomerations vulnerable to chain reactions triggered by climate related hazards. Hence, the reliable and cost-effective assessment of future climate impact is of high importance. Two major approaches emerge from the literature: i) detailed spatially explicit assessments, and ii) more holistic approaches consistently assessing multiple cities. In this multidisciplinary thesis both approaches were addressed. Firstly, we discuss the underlying reasons and main challenges of the applicability of downscaling procedures of climate projections in the process of urban planning. While the climate community has invested significant effort to provide downscaling techniques yielding localised information on future climate extreme events, these methods are not widely exploited in the process of urban planning. Los sistemas urbanos no solo son los principales impulsores del cambio climático, sino que también afectan a los puntos críticos. Los procesos de calentamiento global y crecimiento de la población urbana hacen que nuestras aglomeraciones urbanas sean vulnerables a las reacciones en cadena provocadas por los peligros relacionados con el clima. Por lo tanto, la evaluación confiable y rentable del impacto climático futuro es de gran importancia. Dos enfoques principales emergen de la literatura: i) evaluaciones espaciales explícitas detalladas, y ii) enfoques más holísticos que evalúan consistentemente múltiples ciudades. En esta tesis multidisciplinar se abordaron ambos enfoques. En primer lugar, discutimos las razones subyacentes y los principales desafíos de la aplicabilidad de los procedimientos de reducción de escala de las proyecciones climáticas en el proceso de planificación urbana. Si bien la comunidad climática ha invertido un esfuerzo significativo para proporcionar técnicas de reducción de escala que brindan información localizada sobre eventos climáticos extremos en el futuro, estos métodos no se explotan ampliamente en el proceso de planificación urbana.
