URBAN CLIMATE ISSUES

• Urban systems are central to global warming

• They are highly vulnerable :Urban systems are built in environments chosen originally for their advantages (near rivers, seas, oceans, deltas, etc.) but are now highly prone to climate variations

• L’enjeu économique est très élevé : The way cities have been built is no longer adapted to the environment and many urban infrastructures are today exposed

• The impacts on humans are extensive :More and more city dwellers means not only more human-induced pollution but also more people exposed to it

Cities are multi-modal nodes concentrating populations, infrastructures and human activities, where all the effects of climate change—precipitation, heat islands, air pollution and so on—are multiplied and exacerbated

The vulnerability of cities to climate stress

According to UNEP, 75% of

large cities are in coastal areas

Cities account for 80% of global

GDP

5 million people are

moving into cities every

month


According to the World Bank,

by 2030 climate change will

cost cities 314 billion dollars

and push 77 million city dwellers into poverty.

According to Nanyang Technological University

(NTU) in Singapore, precipitations are likely to increase 20% in South-East Asian cities over the course

of this century.

In Paris, the risk is of a 100-year flood that according to the

OECD would cost 100 billion euros, 400,000 jobs and 5 to 10 years to rebuild the Metro.

• In many regions of the globe, health, political and economic balances in cities are therefore directly under threat from urban climate change in the very short term

• Urban planning is becoming a pressing issue

• It is an issue that calls for precise knowledge of a city, its climate and variations in order to act effectively, sustainably and resiliently in response to climate change

• Such detailed knowledge of cities and their climate does not yet exist, because urban climate science is still young and most of all because we lack precise, long time-series of local data

A unique aerial system designed to fly over cities in full compliance with regulations and the la topography of urban zones being observed. This system is built around innovative platforms called CLIMATE BIRDS carrying miniature measuring instruments (lidars, radars, infrared and multispectral cameras, atmospheric probes, radiometers, etc.)

HOW IT WORKS 1/3

CLIMATE BIRDS NETWORK (CBN) airborne measuring systems

CLIMATE BIRDS employ tried-and-tested commercial-off-the-shelf technologies (COTS) that will be adapted and optimized to maximize CLIMATE CITY’s performance and in line with scientific issues related to climate change


System operation : air-bone measurement system

HOW IT WORKS 2/3

8

• CLIMATE BIRDS networks are unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and balloons flying measuring instruments over cities

• The systems are engineered to adapt to all latitudes and longitudes of the world

• The systems are respectf ul of applicable regulations relative to aerial overflight in urban areas

• The CLIMATE BIRDS networks collect new and missing climatic data, gathered on a basis of ongoing, regulated long term observations, with a precise and optimal spatial and temporal resolution


precise and unique data collected by CLIMATE BIRDS are stored at the local operations centre

then sent to a regional centre, where they are sorted, checked for relevance and fed into mathematical models dedicated to urban climate (city micro-climate)

and turned into products and services, forecasting and decision-support tools etc.

Operations centres

In addition to the airborne segment (CLIMATE BIRDS NETWORK), CLIMATE CITY will rely on a ground ‘control’ segment piloting mission UAS and balloons, and operating payloads and retrieving and processing data

These ground segments, combined with CLIMATE CITY’s R&D and training activities, will be organized around the globe :

• Regional operations centres (one per continent)• Local operations centres (one per city)

• Headquarters (in France)

ADDING VALUE 1/2

A unique operator in the history of the emerging climate economy

• The CLIMATE BIRDS system complements the satellite picture of urban climate, giving a more precise, more agile and mobile vision adapted to constantly evolving cities and to the complexity of observing them, notably due to ‘urban canyons’ hidden by buildings. It is the only system that will enable urban climate science to make the transition to an operational, real-world solution that all stakeholders driving the development of cities can use.

•Ground sensors deployed in cities to observe weather and climate phenomena only provide a very local and short-term picture (a few days). Today, there are only temporary systems that are part of experiments being pursued by university research scientists.

CLIMATE BIRDS offer precise and persistent observation of city micro-climates, complementing large-scale weather and climate satellite systems :

12

• There is currently no persistent, operational system dedicated to observing urban climate in fine detail, in three dimensions and from the ground to an altitude of 1,500 meters.

MARKET 3/3

CLIMATE CITY has identified two categories in this market :

Climate emergency Cities where climate concerns are a matter of urgency : Within the next 10 years, hundreds of cities around the globe, mainly in developing countries, are set to see a major rise in pollution, flooding, heat islands and other climate-related phenomena. These cities are going to find themselves directly and immediately vulnerable to increasingly intense natural disasters that will threaten poorly located or undersized infrastructures. The combination of climate change and rapid urban growth driving these imbalances is going to cost the world community billions of dollars in addition to the attendant social, health and political risks. But if we anticipate the impacts of climate change in urban areas now and plan cities and infrastructures accordingly, some of these projected disasters could be averted. In the medium term, CLIMATE CITY can help to put in place such coping strategies.

Climate necessities Cities where the response to climate concerns is a necessity : Chiefly cities in the northern hemisphere, in developed nations, through the desire to achieve compliance with new environmental standards and as a result of the focus by public and private policymakers on public health issues, natural disaster risks, comfort for citizens, balanced energy consumption and the emergence of solutions for smart cities. Combined with climate change, these domains represent hundreds of billions of euros of additional costs on a global scale if we do not anticipate them several years ahead and if public policies fail to factor in the medium-term impacts of urban climate.

There are currently 1,692 cities around the world with a population of more than 300,000, and 550 of them have more than one million inhabitants. Unchecked urban growth is largely affecting cities in the southern hemisphere. These are also the cities most feeling the impacts of climate change.

CLIMATE CITY has surveyed these 1,692 cities closely, as a large proportion of them represent the core of the urban climate economy and the risks of a changing micro-climate.
