变化的气候与变化的城市设计策略

CHANGING CLIMATE AND CHANGING STRATEGIES FOR URBAN DESIGN

全球气候变化对人类社会和经济建设产生了广泛而深刻的影响。作为气候变化最显著的特征之一,海平面上升会加剧沿海地区的风暴潮、海岸侵蚀、海水入侵等海洋灾害的发生,严重威胁沿海地区的社会经济发展。本次受访者为全球气候变化领域的专家,其在访谈中指出海洋在全球气候系统中占据主导地位,在全球气候变化过程中亦发挥着重要作用,并进一步分析了全球海平面上升的非同步性和非平均性。受访者指出全球气候变化的基础研究成果还有待转换到气候学、灾害预报与防控、城市规划与设计等应用学科领域,以为沿海地区城市建设的风险评估和管理提供指导。

Global climate change has a broad and profound impact on human social and economic development. As one of the most distinguishing observations of climate change, sea level rise exacerbates marine disasters such as storm surge, coastal erosion, and seawater intrusion, which threaten the socio-economic development of coastal areas. As an expert on global climate change, the interviewee noted that ocean plays an absolutely dominant role in global climate system, and further emphasized the non-synchronicity and non- uniformity of global sea level rise. He also pointed out that basic research on global climate change needs to be more extensively applied in climatology, disaster prediction and control, urban planning and design, and other disciplines, in order to provide scientific support on risk assessment and management for urban construction of coastal regions.
