If you are a consultancy dealing with public resistance to new green infrastructure — this project developed blueprints for collaborative processes that build on dialogue and integrate different types of knowledge. This helps you get faster community buy-in for urban projects.
Digital Tools and Blueprints for Community-Led Climate Adaptation and Urban Planning
Imagine trying to fix a city's heat or flood problems, but the people living there don't trust the plan or the data. This project builds digital toolkits and games to get citizens and local leaders on the same page. It's like a bridge that turns confusing climate data into a shared map for action.
What needed solving
Cities struggle to implement climate adaptation because of public distrust, disinformation, and a lack of tools to involve citizens in decision-making.
What was built
A suite of 4 digital tools, including a Community Hub, two Digital Academies (Data and Disinformation), and a climate learning game app.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a software firm dealing with low user engagement in environmental education — this project developed an AGORA App, which is a game that enables users to learn more about climate change. You can adapt these gamification methods to increase user retention.
If you are an agency dealing with the spread of climate myths — this project developed a Digital Academy on Disinformation. This provides a structured way to combat false information and improve public awareness.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price for using these tools?
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is an EU-funded research project.
Can these solutions be scaled to an industrial level?
The project focuses on upscaling adaptation processes across Europe, using 4 pilot regions (Rome, Zaragoza, Dresden, and Malmö) to test transferability.
What are the IP and licensing terms for the digital tools?
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though three digital tools are already published.
How do these tools integrate with existing city data?
The project includes a Digital Academy on Climate Change Data to help users understand and use climate information for co-production.
What is the timeline for the final rollout?
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily research-oriented, consisting of 13 partners across 9 countries. With 9 research organizations and only 1 industry partner (an 8% industry ratio), the project is driven by academic and public sector expertise, though it includes 3 SMEs to support the development of digital tools.
