Urban climates and climate change
Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to
increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example …

A global map of Local Climate Zones to support earth system modelling and urban scale environmental science
There is a scientific consensus on the need for spatially detailed information on urban
landscapes at a global scale. These data can support a range of environmental services …
