CLIMPACT II: Climate Change and Urban Heat Island project

The “National Research Network for Climate Change and Its Effects – CLIMPACT” is an interdisciplinary consortium comprising 28 members from the academic and research communities in Greece and Cyprus, dedicated to addressing issues related to Climate Change and the associated climate risks, natural disasters, as well as social and economic impacts.

The Cyprus Institute participates, through CARE-C, in Phase II of the project by contributing to Action 2.3 Climate Crisis and Urban Heat Island. Specifically, CARE-C is structuring the methodology and assisting in the evaluation for dynamic and statistical downscaling of urban climate, mainly through the utilization of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF).It also leverages its network in the broader Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region for the dissemination of the Action’s results.
