Climate Change Risk Perception, Early Warning, and Response Policy Management

To bridge the “knowledge-application” gap, this direction integrates multi-source data into an AI-powered risk warning system and develops a decision-making support tool. It aims to establish a "Monitoring-Warning-Decision-Optimization" closed-loop governance framework to enable adaptive resilience management of coastal cities.
