ENLIGHT addresses both the global urban data gap and its integration into climate management at global, regional and urban scales.
In the first phase ENLIGHT develops a consistent urban database that includes land-cover, urban climate effects and the exploration of policy-relevant modelling capacities. It builds up on existing research strengths and international links.
ENLIGHT creates four main components
The in content, scale and extent consistent urban database is closely linked to the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tool WUDAPT. Its co-design can lead to synergies and increased functionality, resulting in an up-scaling of urban climate solutions.
