Climate Alliance Team
Climate Alliance is the largest European city network dedicated to climate action. Our members, ranging from small rural towns to cities with populations in the millions, accept climate change as a global challenge that requires local solutions. With this Climate Alliance brings a huge potential to spread the learning of the pilots within the URBREATH project. As Climate Alliance we have dealt intimately with cities needs and challenges for over 25 years and supported them in making their cities more adaptive to climate change. With this experience we always try as much as we can to guarantee that these are taking into account.
URBREATH to CA, is about developing a participatory approach to see how digital solutions
can serve cities resiliency challenges. A digital twin is much more than a conventional
model that simulates reality as it needs to be connected to an actual physical object, for
example a green roof or a wetland in the city. These Digital Twins should improve our
knowledge of how the nature based solutions are actually contributing to the challenges
that they are built to solve, think of heavy precipitation, heat or increased water flow.
While at the same time, allowing us to communicate our plans better to people and integrate
their feedback and suggestions more easily. As CA, being part of such a highly innovative consurtium, we expect to learn in practice how these Digital Twins will make resiliency work in cities, more effective and inclusive.
