CIMPACT-DST
users input the type, intended lifetime, and preferred location of their
infrastructure project or master plan, using drop-down menus. The tool outputs
tell them what climate change impacts they need to worry about, and, if
available, what their city officials recommend they consider doing to reduce
those impacts through their project design and siting decisions. The contents of
the tool are customized through an iterative process to ensure that the climate
information and guidance for planners is both locally relevant and validated by
local policymakers and other key stakeholders. Applying the tool to a plan or
project takes about 15 minutes. ![]() |
