Being able to quantify the future evolution of heat stress in cities and to develop smart adaptation strategies to counter its impacts requires the capturing of fine-grained variations in heat-related hazards within the urban fabric. However, the coarse resolution of Earth System Models makes it difficult to model urban areas explicitly. Moreover, few outputs of high-resolution modelling of...
Developing national climate scenarios allows for a consistent translation of global and regional climate projections into information relevant for impact modelling and decision-making within Belgium. We present a new set of national climate scenarios developed within the CORDEX.be II project, based on kilometer-scale regional climate model (RCM) simulations. The ensemble includes three RCMs...
There is a growing need for stakeholders to access relevant and user-friendly climate information to develop action plans addressing climate change challenges across various sectors. The occurrence of future climate events is often presented in a probabilistic context, where multiple projections are produced to represent the uncertainties inherent in climate modeling. However, the practical...
Climate plays an important role in the occurrence and ecology of tick and mosquito vectors, and therefore on the transmission of pathogens causing vector-borne diseases (VBDs) such as Lyme borreliosis, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika. Understanding and anticipating vector dynamics requires timely, high-resolution climate information integrated into public health surveillance systems, a gap...
