If you are a municipal consultancy firm dealing with inequitable city planning — this project developed inclusive strategies that ensure local authority investments actually reach the most vulnerable groups. This reduces social risk and improves the effectiveness of climate adaptation projects.
Inclusive Climate Resilience and Digital Transition Strategies for Vulnerable Urban Populations
Imagine trying to protect a city from heatwaves or floods, but realizing the elderly or disabled are being left behind because they can't use the apps or tools provided. This work creates a better playbook for cities to make sure everyone, regardless of age or ability, is safe and included. It's like building a safety net that actually fits the people who need it most.
What needed solving
Cities often implement climate adaptation measures that ignore the specific needs of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, leading to wasted investment and increased social vulnerability.
What was built
The project is designing inclusive strategies and co-creative digital activities to ensure vulnerable groups are included in climate resilience planning.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a civic technology developer dealing with low adoption rates among elderly or disabled users — this project developed co-creative digital activities that increase participation in climate action. This allows for the creation of tools that are actually usable by marginalized groups.
If you are a climate risk assessment firm dealing with inaccurate vulnerability data — this project developed risk management strategies prioritizing marginalized social groups. This provides a more accurate map of social risk for urban resilience planning.

Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward public and non-profit entities, with 14 'Other' organizations and 9 academic/research partners. With only 2 industry partners and a low industry ratio of 8%, the project is primarily driven by social and academic goals rather than commercial product development, though the presence of 3 SMEs suggests some capacity for agile tool creation.
