Date: 21 September 2026
Time: 9.00 to 11.30, Canary Islands time
Aims of the session
- Introduction to the use of existing tools for consulting and managing climate projections in the Canary Islands.
- To provide tools for consulting and analysing climate projections in the selected study areas, with a view to supporting risk and vulnerability assessments of infrastructure associated with the urban water cycle.
The event is aimed in particular at local technical staff, water managers, infrastructure managers, trainers and representatives of public institutions interested in using climate information to support planning and adaptation in the face of climate change.
During the session, various tools and information sources available for consulting and analysing climate projections in the Canary Islands will be presented, along with their application to the analysis of risks and vulnerability in infrastructure associated with the urban water cycle. The aim is to facilitate access to and use of climate information that is useful for decision-making and the planning of adaptation measures for this infrastructure.
