The climate team at VITO aims to support governments and private sector organizations in becoming climate resilient. We do this by providing risk analysis and adaptation option information based on the most accurate climate information. Together with our clients we develop interactive climate services from local to global scales. Our proprietary urban climate model (“UrbClim”) is used in many of our projects.
