Imagine using nature as a shield against floods and droughts instead of just building concrete walls. This project creates a 'recipe book' of 25 natural solutions and uses digital twins to predict how they will work. It helps cities and businesses find the money to pay for these green upgrades while proving they actually work.
Municipalities and companies struggle to implement nature-based climate defenses because they lack reliable cost-benefit data and accessible financing models. There is a gap between theoretical ecological benefits and actionable engineering plans.
A 'booster pack' of 25 solutions including a digital twin, an NBS knowledge booster, and financial tools for resilience assessment.
If you are an infrastructure firm dealing with increasing flood risks in coastal cities — this project developed 18 Nature-Based Solutions that provide a natural alternative to grey infrastructure. This allows you to offer climate-resilient designs backed by digital twin modeling.
If you are an investment fund dealing with the difficulty of pricing ecological risks — this project developed financial innovative solutions and cost-benefit analysis tools. This helps you validate the ROI of nature-based assets across 6 bio-geographical regions.
If you are a software company dealing with a lack of real-world data for climate models — this project developed a digital twin and an NBS knowledge booster. You can integrate these monitoring and validation mechanisms into your resilience assessment products.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not listed, but the project is developing cost-benefit analysis tools and financial mechanisms to determine investment viability.
Yes, the project implements 18 measures across 8 case studies and 4 follower regions, specifically aiming to mainstream these solutions at a regional level.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing model is not mentioned, though it delivers a 'booster pack' of 25 solutions for regional use.
The project follows the Adaptation to Climate Change Mission and the IPCC AR6 WGII Report to provide evidence-based recommendations for regional policy.
The project runs from September 2023 to August 2028, with current activities focused on stakeholder mapping and tool development.
The consortium is highly diversified with 45 partners across 13 countries. It features a strong operational mix with a 22% industry ratio (10 companies), including 9 SMEs, which suggests a focus on commercial viability. The presence of 9 universities and 6 research centers ensures the technical validity of the digital twins and AI tools being developed.
