InCLIMATE Project Outputs

  • InCLIMATE Project Outputs


    • Climate Resilience Database

      The database is a tool that systematizes a shared knowledge basis on the state of the art of each country as regards climate change adaptation and resilience and creates a repository for learners to easily access relevant data and information on the project topics. The database is organised in six different sections: 

      • Climate Change Institutional Framework, identifying and describing laws and regulations (at EU, national, regional and/or local level) in relation to climate change and in particular to disaster risk reduction, resilience strategies and urban resilience. 
      • Climate Resilience Instruments, describing strategies, policies or projects at different governance levels dealing with adaptation to the effects of climate change and the reduction of risks arising from it, either in a global or sectoral way, that incorporate strategies of resilience and can be considered as good practices. 
      • Thematic networks, listing and describing existing networks at national and transnational level working on climate adaptation and resilience issues. 
      • Financial Opportunities, describing available financial sources and funding mechanisms addressed to reduction of vulnerability, adaptation, and/or improvement of resilience. -
      • Selected bibliography, collecting scientific papers, reports and other open access documents on project topics. 
      • Educational options currently offered at the university and post-graduate level in involved countries, as well as the situation of the job market, highlighting current orientations and deficiencies. 

    • Shared Knowledge Report

      The synthetic Shared knowledge report summarizes and systematizes the data collected for the production of O1, and embeds conclusions on common problems and challenges regarding climate change adaptation and resilience, that can be addressed during the project. It also includes a description (based on input from partner HEIs) of the educational options on climate issues currently offered at the university and post-graduate level, to identify possible intervention paths on HE curricula. The output represents a handy tool to better orient project activities, and to tailor them to national contexts.

      It has been uploaded on the project website in an editable version, so that it can be used as a basis for further projects, and amended, updated, and integrated when necessary.

    • Pre-Ordinated Cognitive Structure

      Climate change is complex. This complexity mainly emanates from the need to integrate disciplinary knowledge and expertise, both technological and managerial, in an interdisciplinary context to find buildable solutions that improve actual urban resilience strategies. However, training and education in professional silos, and the resultant fragmentation of the academy are significant barriers to integration. This lack of integration is one of the reasons behind the low process towards a low carbon society. 

      This report presents the methodology, which was adopted to develop a tool and process to activate a knowledge integration and exchange within an interdisciplinary learning environment. It describes and justifies the approach to developing an innovative learning approach founded substantially on a novel application of cognitive maps and meaningful learning activities (MLAs) in exploring sustainable strategies for climate change.

    • Climate Resilience Integrated Concept Map

      Intellectual Output 5 presents the evolution of the  pre-ordinated cognitive structure, resulting from the discussions and activities (at partner level and at consortium level) carried out during the project: the educational activities separately carried out by partners and the Intensive course for students. The integrated concept map reconnects, under a single profile, the resources collected and analysed during the various activities. The basic structure of the integrated map is the same as the pre-ordinated cognitive structure, but includes new, more in-depth information on the project topics, as well as new interconnections resulting from the InCLIMATE educational activities. These activities aimed to test the effectiveness and usefulness of the pre-ordinated cognitive structure as a teaching tool, and to further develop and improve it by adding concepts, links and materials on specific aspects.

    • Final Conference Proceedings

      University of Roma Tre will be hosting the Final International Conference of the InCLIMATE Project on Tuesday 15th November 2022. The conference, which is being held in the city of Rome, will bring together the project partners, students and stakeholders. The InCLIMATE final conference aims at disseminating the project’s educational methods, tools and results, discussing them with Italian and international experts and laying the basis for a wider dissemination of the InCLIMATE outputs. Participants can join the event at the conference venue and will also have the possibility to join remotely through Microsoft Teams.
