It will integrate requirements and measures for adaptation to climate change from WPs 2 ? 5, support the development of a sustainability indicator framework, the spatial urban and environmental information system, and the vulnerability assessment. A comprehensive analysis of results from previous project phases and additional existent planning tools, methods and processes will form the basis for the coordination and cooperation. The overall objective of WP1 is the implementation of results within AF1 into the urban adaptation planning system.
