Case Study Docking Station
The CSDS is a searchable database designed to allow cross comparisons of city case studies for a broad range of social, biophysical, cultural, economic, and political contexts. It includes over 250 city case studies covering a range of topics such as climate change vulnerability, hazards and impacts, mitigation and adaptation actions, and sector-specific themes such as wastewater and flood management. Case studies are benchmarked by their corresponding Assessment Report (ARC3.2 or ARC3.3) and are peer reviewed by researchers, academics, and practitioners in the field. ARC3.1 case studies can be made available upon request.
Additional Information
Case studies are solicited via UCCRN members and then distributed to relevant institutions and researchers.
Users can select case studies from UCCRN's Urban Design Climate Workshops (UDCW) within the Docking Station. UDCWs bring together urban designers, urban planners, climatologists, policymakers, stakeholders, and graduate students to strengthen urban resilience, improve energy efficiency, and enhance livelihoods. So far, UDCWs have taken place in New York, Paris, Naples, Durban, and Rio de Janeiro.
In collaboration with the UCCRN Mexico Hub and the Network of Scientists for Climate in Mexico (REDCiC), select case studies are made available in both English and Spanish. Users can filter for case studies in English and/or Spanish in the search bar above.
