VALORADA together with ASITIS will focus on combining climate data, climate projections, satellite monitoring of vegetation dynamics, and city data from urban green inventories/passports to:

• Determine the most vulnerable urban green areas as well as the key urban green infrastructure,
• Predict the health state of the urban green functional areas in the future, and
• Propose additional nature-based solutions to enhance the city’s adaptation capacity, and thus its climate resilience.
