PP1: Identification and assessment of coping measures for dealing with extreme weather events

This programme package will identify and assess coping methods for dealing with extreme weather events.

Methods will include, for example, green space or street spraying to cope with heatwaves, or flood-proof construction to protect property and infrastructure, to more simple solutions such as fan-evaporation cooling for individual comfort. A range of coping methods will be identified and evaluated for current and future extreme weather.

The output from this programme package will provide technical information on coping methods which is essential for research into the barriers and drivers of their uptake by individuals, SMEs and local community carried out by PP2.
