Comparative review examines schoolyard transformations for climate adaptation, suggesting prioritization methods.

The aim is to evaluate schoolyards' roles in urban climate adaptation and propose a framework for prioritizing interventions.
Conducted a comparative review of nine international schoolyard transformation programs.
Synthesize design strategies, governance configurations, and monitoring approaches.
Developed a multicriteria analysis framework for prioritization across four criteria families.
Utilized a CAME framework for integrating findings.
Identified a toolkit of interventions including depaving, tree planting, and cool surfaces.
Highlighted improved thermal comfort and stormwater performance linked to these interventions.
Demonstrated increased biodiversity and community use of schoolyards beyond school hours.
Established a criteria-based prioritization method for local governments and school authorities.

Díaz-López et al. (2026) studied this question.
