This policy brief includes recommendations for research teams and city level decision-makers corresponding to 1) the main obstacles to effective climate change adaptation at city level encountered by cities in the RESIN consortium, and 2) the challenges of effective research-practice collaboration, with corresponding recommendations.
Policy brief: Standardisation in local climate change adaptation: benefits, myths and recommendations
This policy brief provides an outline of the urban standardisation landscape in Europe, covering the benefits of (and barriers to) using standards for local climate change adaptation, outlining existing relevant standards for local governments, busting persistent myths about using them, and concluding with a set of recommendations for local governments and creators of standards.

The RCF underpins RESIN by establishing a context for the project and clarifying the key concepts, and the relationships between them, that the project is developed around.
D1.4 Typology Final Report
This deliverable of the RESIN project presents the European Climate Risk Typology.
D1.5 WP1 Final Report
The goal of Work Package 1 (WP1) was to establish a coherent framework of concepts and ap-proaches linked to understanding and responding to extreme weather and climate change risks in urban areas, with a particular focus on critical infrastructure.
D2.1 DESIGN IVAVIA
This report describes the general approach of the RESIN project to support the vulnerability analysis (VA) of urban areas and their critical infrastructures regarding the impacts of climate change.
D2.2 Standardization in urban climate adaptation
This report describes standardization activities that have been carried out as part of the RESIN project.2 Worldwide, standards are being used to provide a degree of certainty that products and processes meet requirements for quality and performance. Standards can play a similarly beneficial role with regard to climate change adaptation, by making possible a faster and broader uptake of knowledge and best practices through an internationally recognised and trusted platform.

This report provides support tools for decision making. Thus, this report is aimed at decision-makers involved in environmental issues, particularly practitioners that are responsible for the development and management of climate change adaptation plans.
D3.3 Policy guideline
The aim of this report is to outline the research team's Adaptation Pathway Design approach as a tool to support policy formulation and implementation of measures in a city, as well as to describe its application in Bilbao and Greater Manchester. The deliverable proposes an operational method to decide on the most suitable implementation strategy for adaptation at different scales (the city level and site level), according to the effectiveness of the adaptation measures, their technical, financial and governance implications, the main objectives and defined acceptable thresholds.
D3.6 Completed library of adaptation options
The Adaptation Options Library (AOL) tool is a comprehensive database of adaptation options related to heat, pluvial, fluvial and costal floods, droughts and wind storms.
D4.1 RESIN CITY ASSESSMENT REPORTS
This report, which gathers the cities assessment reports of all four RESIN cities of Bilbao, Bratislava, Greater Manchester and Paris, will allow the RESIN cities and project partners to gain an overview over which adaptation and critical infrastructure protection (CIP) strategies, plans and measures are already in place or planned.
D4.2 Developing the RESIN tools, advancing local adaptation: Recommendations for co-creation in applied research
There is growing interest in the concept of co-creation among researchers and funders of research, with a view to securing greater research impact and uptake of new knowledge by end-users. However, gaps in understanding still remain concerning what exactly co-creation is, which benefits it provides, and how to go about it. This report responds to this gap, by describing the positive and negative impacts observed by the RESIN project participants, as well as the enablers of and barriers to co-creation encountered.

This report elaborates on the development approach and expected outline, use and form of the framework in which the decision support tooling will be presented to the end-users. To this end, a framework is developed in which all supportive elements to the end users can be placed, and presented. Eventually, in this framework, the supportive tools, methods and other structures will be referenced; this includes the results from other RESIN WP’s and external sources. Finally, an outline of a work plan is presented to develop and operationalise the framework, in close collaboration with the RESIN city partners.
