Climate Metamorphosis for urban post-disaster recovery

Project description

Framework and tools for post-disaster green transition

Recent crises, pandemics, wars, and the increasing impact of climate change have vastly changed urban centres worldwide, creating vulnerabilities, disasters, and highlighting a need for action. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the EU-funded Metamorphosis project aims to introduce a ‘build-back-better’ methodology by developing a framework and tools to allow cities to transition into a greener future. The project will build on the Climate City Contract tool to develop one that is suitable for post-disaster situations. Finally, the project will be demonstrated in conjunction with Ukraine’s expected post-war recovery, recognising an opportunity for climate action in recovery planning.

Objective

"In an era of increasing urban vulnerabilities to disasters, this project stands as a beacon of innovation and action. Cities across the globe, including those within the European Union, face increasing number of crises, from climate-driven catastrophes to seismic shocks. These events disrupt economies, societies, and scar the environment, calling for more than just a return to the pre-disaster state; they call for metamorphosis.
In ""Metamorphosis"" project, I will build on the ""build back better"" principles and develop a framework and tool that would help cities to leap forward by integrating climate adaptation and mitigation, and become not only resilient but also climate neutral. This approach aligns seamlessly with two pivotal EU missions: Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities, and Climate Adaptive Regions by 2030.
This inquiry focuses on the Climate City Contract (CCC), a transformative and inclusive governance tool developed by the net-zero research and practice community in the EU. This project aims to evolve it into a Climate Recovery Contract (CRC), one tailored for post-disaster scenarios. The backdrop for this exploration is Ukraine's post-war recovery, offering a unique field to integrate climate transformation into recovery planning.
All together, the EU-Ukraine context forms fertile ground for the expansion of knowledge on post-disaster recovery and the crafting of practical instruments like CRC. These endeavors will empower cities not merely to return to their prior states after disasters but to stride forward, embracing climate resilience and net-zero recovery in a collaborative manner, a metamorphosis urgently needed in the face of the global climate emergency.
