The overarching objective of MULTICLIMATE is to provide a replicable method, a relevant tool and a toolkit for assessing the resilience of the built environment and its people against climate and natural hazards, as well as supporting stakeholders in taking actions. The MULTICLIMACT framework addresses MULTIple hazards at MULTIple scales, implementing a MULTI-disciplinary and MULTI-faceted approach consisting of a toolkit of innovative adaptation ACTions including Design, Materials and Digital Solutions.

CMCC role
CMCC will lead 3 tasks:

• MULTICLIMACT toolkit assessment framework. Quantitative evaluation of resilience enabling DESIGN practices and methods
• Planning and designing adaptation policies and measures for enabling a climate-proof built environment at different scales
• Adaptation policies and measures for enabling a climate-proof built environment at different scales – development for the application to a real demo case in Spain

Additionally, CMCC will provide climate data and information in the project and will be actively involved in the different WPs of the project

Activities
The MULTICLIMACT work plan comprises seventeen Work Packages (WPs), organized into three reporting periods for compliance with project rules. WPs 1, 7, and 14 focus on developing and refining the MULTICLIMACT framework, particularly the CREMA tool, which assesses resilience against various hazards and supports the implementation of innovative Design, Materials, and Digital Solutions (the MULTICLIMACT toolkit).
The toolkit’s creation involves three sets of WPs: WP2 and 8 develop design and planning methods for cost-effective interventions across various scales. WP3 and 9 work on resilience-enabling materials and technologies to enhance preparedness and durability. WP4 and 10 advance digital solutions for monitoring and responding to critical situations, improving data utilization for safety and quality of living. WPs 11 and 15 demonstrate the MULTICLIMACT framework in various geographical and social contexts, addressing diverse natural risks. WPs 5, 12, and 16 handle project communication, dissemination, replication, scalability, and innovative business models. Finally, WPs 6, 13, and 17 deal with other project management aspects.

Expected results
MULTICLIMACT project aims to create a framework and tool to assess resilience at various scales, including buildings, urban areas, and territories, against local natural and climatic hazards. The project also focuses on human well-being and quality of life as essential considerations. It plans to implement 18 reliable and cost-effective design methods, materials, and digital solutions, integrating a multidisciplinary approach. The approach aligns with international and European initiatives and will be demonstrated in four diverse case studies.
