CREST – Climate resilient coastal urban infrastructures through digital twinning

🔍 Is there a universal meaning of resilience?In the CREST project we explore the concept of resilience through the citizen science approach, which promotes the development of an information society and fosters civil attitudes. We believe that this approach, incorporating artificial intelligence and augmented reality, can significantly impact audience engagement on climate change issues. The Citizen Science Research Protocol, published by CREST, is used to implement the protocol in European coastal areas, with the Kołobrzeg community in Poland implementing the full protocol, while it will be adapted and partially implemented with surveys and focus groups by Bordeaux Metropolis (France) and Møre og Romsdal Fylkeskommune (Norway).The study aims to identify city components that support resilience, highlighting the importance of local resources in sustaining adaptiveness to threats and urban challenges. #citizenscience #climatechange #Augmented reality #urbanresilience … See MoreSee Less

A stark truth we must confront: June was the warmest month ever recorded globally, and the last half of July was one the warmest periods Europe has ever faced. Europe has warmed faster overall than any other continent in recent decades. ☀️From July 10, 2023, the Cerberus anticyclone has been affecting Europe. The Southeast and Southwest regions such as Cyprus, Greece, Italy, and Spain have felt the worst of it, with temperatures surging past 45°C during the final weeks of July. This is a merciless reminder that our world is in turmoil. 🌡️🔥Amidst this turmoil, one undeniable truth stands tall: our actions are driving this calamitous change in the weather. Scientists have unequivocally linked these intense heatwaves to human-made climate change. Temperatures for Europe as a whole show long-term warming trends for both annual and seasonal averages. 🔍By promoting visualization of climate change related impacts, CREST aims to mobilize stakeholders for capacity-building and collective decision-making in 3 European urban areas for urban infrastructure adaptation to climate change. The path forward is demanding, but it’s the only one we have. 🌏🌱KołobrzegINRAEMøre og Romsdal fylkeskommuneObserwatorium Polityki Miejskiej IRMiRRead more on: climate.copernicus.eu/european-heatwave-july-2023-longer-term-context … See MoreSee Less

🔥What is the Heat Island Effect? 🔥The Heat Island Effect occurs when an urban area is significantly hotter than the surrounding rural areas due to human activities. In many cities, there are not enough natural features, like parks and green spaces (green infrastructure) and bodies of water (blue infrastructure). Without enough greenery and water, cities struggle to cool down, leading to increased temperatures. To make matters worse, buildings and paved surfaces absorb and retain heat, exacerbating what is called the “Heat Island Effect”. 🏢☀️But of course, there is hope! By integrating green and blue infrastructure, we can create cooler, more livable cities. … See MoreSee Less

Today is #EarthOvershootDay – the day we’ve used up all the natural resources our 🌍 can generate in 2023.

From clean energy & transport, to nature restoration & circular economy, there are many solutions to help us #MoveTheDate

In Europe, we are doing it with the #EUGreenDeal
