Pilot integrated assessment framework

The pilot framework for Task 4.1, guided by the conceptual underpinnings of WP1, seeks to holistically understand urban vulnerabilities from a social-ecological-technological perspective. Through the integration of spatially explicit NBS scenarios and ecosystem service modeling, the framework will assess the potential of nature-based solutions in mitigating flood and overflow vulnerabilities, considering the broader implications of climate change. The final aim of the framework is to translate this understanding into actionable transition pathways, ensuring the alignment of these pathways with local needs and global sustainability criteria.
