Urban Geo-climate Footprint selected among the finalists of the Color PA Award of the PA Forum 2024

Produced by ISPRA in collaboration with EuroGeoSurveys, Urban Geo-climate Footprint is the tool that classifies cities from a geological and climatic point of view to help them face the challenges of the future.
It allows you to measure, through the so-called UGF INDEX, the geological complexity of a city, and consequently evaluate the benefits that it could have in the event of impact mitigation. The classification of cities from this point of view can allow comparison between cities with similar characteristics and therefore encourage the exchange of good practices for solving geological-climatic problems.
