Inside the CLIMAAX toolbox: enhancing regional climate assessment - 3rd Webstival | Break out rooms

The Horizon Europe project CLIMAAX aims to contribute to a harmonization of the practice of regional climate risk assessment in Europe. A conceptual framework, practical workflows and supporting information have been developed and collected in the project for this purpose and made available online in the form of a climate risk assessment handbook.
This session will give a brief overview of the CLIMAAX handbook and demonstrate the use of one its workflows with the example of an assessment of urban heatwave risks. Martin Kuban, the lead developer of the heatwave workflow, will take the participants through the steps of the workflow and demonstrate its capabilities. Participants then have the opportunity to get hands-on and customize a part of the presented assessment to an urban area of their choice. The hands-on session is based on Jupyter notebooks and can be run inside the browser with binder, a free cloud computing service, but experienced users are encouraged to set up a local computing environment beforehand (instructions: github.com/CLI.... About 1 GB of data is downloaded when following along with the workflow demonstration. Basic experience with the Python programming language is desirable but not a necessary requirement for participation.
