The Assessment process follows a step-by-step methodology:
- 1.Identifying Climate Hazards
- Assessing Exposure
- Evaluating Vulnerability
- Calculating Risk Values
This is a multi-criteria analysis method designed to evaluate climate change risks at the building and urban scale to enable municipalities to measure hazards, exposure, and vulnerability, allowing them to take proactive steps toward resilience.
To facilitate implementation, the RBE Method is supported by two (2) key tools:
- RBTool (Resilient Buildings Tool)
- RNTool (Resilient Neighbourhoods Tool)
When integrated into the open-source ReMED online platform, these tools guide decisionmakers throughout the adaptation process from initial risk assessment to monitoring longterm outcomes.
The RBE system aligns with Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs), and the
RBE method brings multiple benefits to urban planning and climate adaptation.
Integrating scientific climate risk assessments with urban planning empowers cities to build more resilient and sustainable cities and
environments.
