The Pan-European Urban Climate Service

Ostrava is involved in the implementation of the Horizon 2020 programme ‘The Pan-European Urban Climate Service’, which processes the best available scientific climate data and presents the data in a comprehensible form for use in spatial planning, helping end users (in the public and private sectors) to address the consequences of climate change on a local level. The project involves a total of 14 partners from 6 European countries.

For the City of Ostrava, the project is useful not only in terms of strengthening cooperation with partners, but also due to its use of a mathematical model of temperature changes in the city and as a basis for monitoring indicators of climate change impacts.
