All good things come to an end … but you still can participate

All good things come to an end … but you still can participate

Our IMPETUS project has been finished. You are welcome to use all products we developed for you. In the folder OUTPUTs (https://impetus.aau.at/outputs/), you will find the set of tools to introduce the holistic approach to climate change issues. The result of the IMPETUS project is a holistic methodology supporting the diagnosis of urban areas and resistance to climate change. It is based on IT solutions and combines engineering, sociological, and artistic methods for collecting data on the urban environment, human well-being, and climate change effects. To introduce you to our approach, we prepared the MANUAL (https://impetus.aau.at/outputs/). 

We encourage you to log at the climatescan database to share the collected data or learn about other projects (www.climatescan.nl), use the IMPETUS application with measurement procedures (https://impetus.climatescan.org/) to make fieldwork easy, and start monitoring your neighborhood environment and human well-being. 

For teachers, we developed a set of teaching guidelines (https://impetus.aau.at/outputs/), and for students, the game (https://impetus.aau.at/climatecafe-the-game/) to make learning more enjoyable. 

If you enjoy our products, we will be grateful for IMPETUS promotion and use this leaflet to inform other interested people.

You are also welcome to join ClimateCafe society (https://climatecafe.nl/) and participate in local events or organize them in your city.

After the introduction lecture all guests were invited for a short break and then divided into five groups to present five different tools by the authors or invited presenters (students). All groups had the opportunity to get familiar with all ones.

How to measure water pollution

How to measure water pollution

How to measure water pollution or check the degree of adaptation of streets to climate change and what is a cognitive or narrative map and how to use them to raise public awareness of the state of urbanized areas at the level of the nearest neighborhood?

The Score card

The Score card

ne of the tools developed is a Scorecard System to Assess Adaptation Measures and Score Ecosystem Services at the Street Level. The scorecard proved to be very useful in the adaptation labeling of street segments and entire streets. After assessing a neighborhood, the least adaptive streets can be identified relatively easy. Based on the score a label can be given between A+++ and G
