In the second half of the project, the following work was carried out to achieve the technical objectives:
• Elaboration of the CityCLIM Framework with four tailored manuals consisting information and guidelines for various target groups of CityCLIM.
• Implementation and optimisation of full prototypes for Advanced Urban Weather Model, Data Processors, Citizens Science Concepts for Urban Climate Monitoring, Citizen Climate Services, Administration Climate Services and GCCP.
• Integration of prototypes and data sources into the GCCP building the CityCLIM ecosystem.
• Finalising the set-up of pilot infrastructure with subsequent integration and customisation of prototypes.
• Validation, testing and demonstration of the integrated services, platform and framework with 4 Pilots in 4 cities in Europe and measure the results through key performance indicators (KPIs) defined with users and stakeholders.
• Dissemination and communication of project outcomes to diverse audiences, aiming at creating a community of different stakeholders relevant for CCS, with special focus upon Citizen awareness raising activities linked to Climate change to facilitate social innovation, promote education and training for sustainability and effective adaptation to climate changes.
• Elaboration of a business plan that ensures long-term deployment and profitability of Services and Platform, assuring multiplication of the results through scaling up and replication to a number of players in the business and public sector.
• Elaboration of a roadmap for future development of CCS, focusing at the definition of further data that need to be acquired via satellites and other sources in order to allow for effective building of such services addressing climate changes.
