Abstract
RESCCUE is an H2020 research project that aims to help cities around the world to become more resilient to physical, social, and economic challenges, using the water sector as the central point of the approach. Since 2016, RESCCUE has been developing methodologies and tools to support cities increase their resilience. The three RESCCUE cities, Barcelona, Bristol, and Lisbon, have become a testing platform for the cutting-edge technologies developed in RESCCUE but these are also ready to be deployed to different types of cities, with different climate change pressures. This paper presents some of the main outputs generated by RESCCUE. From climate change scenarios to dissemination tools, and from sectorial models to Resilience Action Plans (RAPs), the outputs that have been produced are very diverse, but special focus is put on the urban water cycle and urban floods. All the project results have a common goal: to increase the resilience of cities from around the world, by offering the methodologies and tools so anyone can take advantage of using them and replicate the RESCCUE results.

This paper aims to present some of the variety of outputs generated by the RESCCUE project, such as climate change scenarios, dissemination tools, sectorial models, and Resilience Action Plans such as climate change scenarios, dissemination tools, sectorial models, and Resilience Action Plans (RAPs)
That was the focus of the present methodology, the application results of which are expected to lead to informed decisions regarding adaptation to climate change in urban areas
Summary
We live in a world of cities, and that trend will continue in the future. Today, 54% of the world’s population live in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66% by 2050 [1]. 21st century, and urban multisectoral approach focusing on water) project aimed to assess current and future resilience is the only way to survive and adapt to the coming shocks and stresses that mayresilience occur [3]. RESCCUEthrough has been developing methodologies andwater toolssector to support climate change a multisectoral approach, taking as thecities focus.increase their Since resilience. The three RESCCUE cities, Barcelona, Bristol, and Lisbon, have become a testing deployed to different types of cities, with different climate change pressures. The three cities identified water-related risks as crucial in their demonstrated by their selection and participation in the 100 Resilient Cities program funded by the hazard analysis, which became a common feature allowedwater-related the RESCCUE methodology be.
