Trend Report Assignment

The resilience of an STE system can be affected by shocks and stresses. The severity of these shocks and stresses or how the system is affected may change due to climate change, socio-economic development and/or technological developments. TUDelft Environmental Engineering students were asked to study a specific shock or stress for a specific topic and analyze solution strategies to reduce the impact of the shock or stress in a “Trend Report”. In addition they added understanding and discussion questions to the trend reports. This makes these trend report an open education resource that can be used as a teaching material for 30-60 minutes to gain insight in typical shocks and stresses that affect resilience.

Rising Risks in a Changing Climate

This presentation looks at rising risks in a changing climate, with a particular focus on weather extremes, and their impacts on the most vulnerable people. Starting from the risk framework used by the IPCC (combining hazards, exposure and vulnerability), this presentation looks at a range of risk drivers, from cases where we have identified trends in probabilities of specific hazards to contexts of rising exposure and vulnerability (and most often, a combination of the three). Key determinants of risk are poverty and fragility/conflict, and more generally the ability to withstand shocks and adapt to changing hazards.

Quantifying the Performance of Resilience Increasing Measures: Workshop introduction

This resource contains a workshop about quantifying the performance of resilience increasing measures and 3 exercises (Excel) to reflect on shocks and stresses. These exercises focus on Climate, Water and Urban Areas. Students will be asked to reflect on shock and stresses, the (initial and cascading) impact from different perspectives and measures to mitigate the negative consequences (again by looking at many different variables).

Student Game Concepts for Integrated Project Course

It is not trivial to understand the resilience of an STE system. Serious gaming is a method to help involved stakeholders and students understand how different shocks and stresses act on a system and what effective interventions are. TUDelft Environmental Engineering students were asked to develop a serious game about resilience for a specific city for the Integrated Project course. As a starting point they used a game concept developed by the Gamelab at TUDelft. To find the game concept, click on the yellow "View Materials" button on the left pane. Content for the games was derived from the 34 trend reports featured in the collection 'Dutch and International Case Studies' The format of the game concepts is for (multiple groups of) 4 players in 2-3 hours including briefing and debriefing.

Rotterdam, will it last?

The game simulates shocks and stresses that will affect the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and how they can be resisted and resolved by applying specific measures. Also the effects of climate change are taken into consideration. In this way the players can learn more about how the Netherlands cope with shocks/stresses and get more familiar with the concept of resilience.

Air pollution in Shanghai

This paper uses Shanghai as an example to analyze urban resilience in relation to the potential shocks and stresses caused by air pollution. Shocks such as smog and acid rain may cause damages to the economy, community and environment of the city. Stresses, on the other hand, will affect the city in the long run. It is also more difficult to remove stresses from the urban systems in comparison to shocks. For air pollution in Shanghai, stresses could be climate change, increasing population, increasing vehicle demand, and increasing emissions due to economic growth. Multi-level solutions are proposed in this paper targeting the shocks and stresses. At personal level, the importance of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and Environment Health and Safety (EHS) policies is discussed; at national level, enforcing environmental tax and investing in New Energy Vehicles (NEV) would also help to reduce the effects of shocks and stresses. In addition, some practical engineering solutions are introduced. For further discussion, ethical issues implied in this paper are raised. For example, some protective measures are suggested in the paper, but how to evaluate the implementation of these measures and how to ensure the vulnerable groups are protected when they are affected by the air pollution? To summarize, this paper focuses on the urban resilience in shanghai and includes topics about problems, solutions, and open discussions that are related to air pollution.
