How to disseminate the research results on climate change impacts in cities to guide adaptation public policies ? Application to the Paris region (France)
Résumé
This study investigates how climate information could be better communicated and used by public stakeholders for decision-making, particularly in the case of adapting cities to climate change. Cities are indeed places with significant societal, economic and environmental importance and could be particularly impacted by the effects of climate change across various different sectors. Furthermore, urban areas are already subject to a phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI): with nighttime urban temperatures being a few degrees higher than the surrounding countryside. The intensity of the UHI can vary according to different factors depending on the city itself, the geographical context, and weather conditions. The effect is particularly exacerbated during heatwaves (Li and Bou-Zeid, 2013) which can worsen the consequences
