**2. The RESCCUE Project**

The RESCCUE project (www.resccue.eu) aims to help cities around the world to become more resilient to physical, social, and economic challenges [7]. During the last four years, RESCCUE has generated models and tools to bring this objective to practice, make these tools available to be deployed to different types of cities, with different climate change pressures. RESCCUE has also supported cities preparing their resilience action plans (RAP) by developing guidance materials and plan templates. The consortium is led by Aquatec—SUEZ Advanced Solutions, and consists of a total of 17 partners with the three city councils of the research sites (Barcelona, Bristol and Lisbon), the United Nations agency UN-Habitat, several urban services companies, research centers, universities and SMEs (small and medium enterprises), all of them with a key role on resilience management in the three research sites.
