Climate change and urbanization are transforming life globally, with direct impacts on each other, yet they are rarely studied together across disciplines. The urbisphere is a Synergy Project funded by the European Research Council (ERC-SyG) that aims to forecast feedbacks between weather/climate and cities. With new synergies between four disciplines (spatial planning, remote sensing, modelling and ground-based observations), city dynamics and human behaviour - including human vulnerability - are incorporated into weather and climate forecasts/projections. Therefore, the focus is on within-city dynamics of peoples' activities and how these can be up-scaled to cities globally. The urbisphere focused cities are Berlin, Paris, Bristol, London, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Heraklion, Nairobi, Beijing, Colombo and Lahore.
This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No. 855005).
