Standardization in urban climate adaptation

RESIN

The RESIN project has developed standardised approaches to help cities develop their adaptation
strategies and strengthen their resilience. Key products are:
 A tool for impact and vulnerability analysis (IVAVIA1);
 a decision support tool (E-Guide);
 a library of adaptation options;
This report describes standardization activities that have been carried out as part of the RESIN
project.2 Worldwide, standards are being used to provide a degree of certainty that products and
processes meet requirements for quality and performance. Standards can play a similarly beneficial
role with regard to climate change adaptation, by making possible a faster and broader uptake of
knowledge and best practices through an internationally recognised and trusted platform.
