Combating heat stress through urban planning: Integrated case studies for Lisbon and Islamabad
Street green space is relevant but not sufficient for adapting to growing urban heat in world cities
Cities face multiple growing climate-related risks. Identifying adaptation strategies and quantifying their effectiveness and limits is hence crucial. Street green space (SGS) receives significant attention in the urban heat adaptation space due to its potential to reduce heat load and provide additional ecosystem benefits. Yet, the majority of existing studies assessing the effectiveness of SGS are either global or very local, and typically rely…
Response to Guerin et al. Comment on ’Mapping the climate risk to urban forests at city scale’
Mapping the climate risk to urban forests at city scale
Climate change represents a threat to the performance and persistence of urban forests and the multiple benefits they provide to city dwellers. Here, we use a novel approach to identify species and areas at high risk of climate change using the city of Melbourne, Australia, as a case study. We derive a safety margin, calculated based on climatic tolerance to two extreme climate variables (maximum temperature of the warmest month, MTWM; precipitat…
Drivers of future changes in East African precipitation
Precipitation amounts over East Africa have been declining over the last decades. These changes and future climate change over the region are highly debated. This study analyzes drivers of future precipitation changes over East Africa by applying a classification of circulation patterns on 15 historical and future members of the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment. Typical circulation types (CTs) are obtained. Under a high emissio…
