Summary

Adapt Ville has aggregated potential ecological adaptation solutions to climate change in Paris. Possible solutions have been categorised by hazard type such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall, floods, risks to biodiversity, health risks, droughts, tensions over food resources and tensions over energy resources.  Each solution has detailed descriptions and benefits listed together with co-benefits as well as use cases and feedback from already implemented projects. The solutions include cost estimates and resources on financial aid to carry out the project as well as providers of the installation services. The portal also includes a map of already implemented solutions with a thorough description of the installation process, feedback from users, and costs.
