How CCAN Works

From a single building to a municipal climate plan — a simple walk-through of the CCAN use case, so that decision-makers can see exactly what our work delivers.

The story, in five steps

  1. It starts with a single building or neighbourhood that needs a climate risk check.
  2. The SuPeRBE-tool (Climate Change Adaptation Tool, CCAT) assesses it, guided by Environmental and Climate Assessment Procedures (SECAP).
  3. That assessment feeds an Extended Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), which informs the Municipal / local Urban Plan.
  4. In parallel, it produces a Local Climate Change Adaptation Plan, which rolls up into a Municipal Climate Change Adaptation Plan.
  5. That Municipal Plan becomes the upgraded SECAP ("SECAP 2.0") for the next cycle — so every building assessed makes the whole municipality’s climate plan better.

The flow

Flowchart: a Building / Neighbourhood assessed by the SuPeRBE-tool (CCAT), guided by the Environmental and Climate Assessment Procedures (SECAP), feeds an Extended Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) that informs the Municipal / local Urban Plan and, in parallel, a Local Climate Change Adaptation Plan (CCAP); these roll up into the Municipal Climate Change Adaptation Plan, which becomes the updated SECAP 2.0 for the next cycle.
