Imagine a digital map and a guidebook that helps cities and farms use nature—like planting specific forests or restoring wetlands—to fight heatwaves and water shortages. It connects people across different countries so they can share what works and stop guessing. It's like a shared operating system for protecting the land and water we all rely on.
Nature-based solutions often suffer from low investment rates and a lack of standardized data to prove their effectiveness. This makes it difficult for regions to scale climate resilience efforts efficiently.
A digital infrastructure for harmonized data collection, modelling tools for the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems nexus, and smart digital tools for citizen engagement.
If you are a NbS provider dealing with low investment rates and difficulty proving impact — this project developed a digital infrastructure and modelling tools that provide data on the value of interventions. This helps unlock a portion of the 450 M€ in climate investment targeted by the alliance.
If you are a water management firm dealing with extreme water scarcity in the Mediterranean — this project developed a Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus approach. This allows you to model complex interfaces to better protect crop yields and water resources.
If you are a consultancy dealing with the need for citizen-led climate adaptation — this project developed smart digital tools for citizen participation. These tools help you co-create resilience plans across the 28 regions and 70 communities targeted by 2030.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the digital tools are not provided.
Yes, the project establishes the CARDIMED Resilience Alliance to upscale existing sites and add new ones, aiming for 28 regions and 70 communities by 2030.
The project focuses on providing open data to all actors in the Nature-based Solutions value chain, though specific licensing terms are not detailed.
The project runs from September 1, 2023, to February 29, 2028, with targets extending to 2030.
It deploys a digital infrastructure designed to harmonize data collection and evaluation processes across different countries and continents.
The consortium is highly diversified with 56 partners across 13 countries. It features a strong industrial presence (29% industry ratio, including 16 companies and 11 SMEs), which suggests a high focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than purely academic research.
