Rationale: Why have you selected this case study area?

  • Please summarise:- e.g. previous experience, is it your everyday environment?, specific vulnerability, previous research being done etc.

Tehran is the hometown of one of the group members and it is her everyday environment. Tehran is the mega city in the north of Iran and has a good climate which is suffering most from air pollution and crowded population. Other issues that become relevant in this city and regional level are related With The climate as dust storms and floods. Precipitation tend to increase in the wettest areas while in the drier areas decrease. This fact influence the agronomy. Other changes in the weather is snowy winter which starts earlier than expected
