Climate change is reshaping how cities plan — from heat adaptation and green space provision to sustainable mobility and equitable access. GOAT supports planners, researchers, and public authorities in developing data-driven strategies for climate adaptation and sustainable urban development, from neighbourhood scale to national monitoring.
Assess how well residents can reach cooling green spaces — parks, urban forests, and water bodies — on foot or by bicycle, with particular attention to heat-vulnerable populations such as the elderly and children. GOAT's accessibility indicators support the planning and prioritisation of green infrastructure investments in the context of urban heat island mitigation — as demonstrated in Plan4Better's Stadtklimadashboard project for the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs, and Spatial Development (BBSR).
Develop interactive WebGIS dashboards that visualise nationally comparable climate adaptation indicators — such as accessibility to cooling green spaces and permeable surface coverage — to support continuous monitoring of urban climate resilience. GOAT's dashboard and reporting capabilities enable municipalities, state governments, and federal agencies to track progress against climate adaptation strategies and communicate results to stakeholders.
Present climate adaptation analyses and sustainability indicators as interactive maps and dashboards — for use in municipal climate action plans, funding applications, public participation processes, or reporting to regional and federal authorities. GOAT makes complex environmental data accessible and visually compelling for non-specialist audiences including politicians, citizens, and investors.
