Developing and assessing novel educational and user-centred actions towards scaling up behavioural change and climate resilience through an AI-enhanced solution

Project description

Recommendations for building climate resilience

Amidst escalating climate challenges, the EU faces a critical need for cohesive strategies to bolster societal resilience. While citizens express concerns and policymakers propose solutions, a gap persists in understanding and trust. The EU-funded NEUROCLIMA project aims to bridge this gap by creating a responsive nervous system. Specifically, it connects citizens, policymakers, and institutions through a blend of human-AI decision support, fostering a bidirectional relationship crucial for navigating the complexities of climate adaptation and ensuring a resilient future. Through rigorous research aligned with the EU Adaptation Strategy, NEUROCLIMA proposes engagement frameworks that consider local nuances. This continuous dialogue fosters trust, understanding, and facilitates systemic change, providing concrete recommendations for a more resilient future.

Objective

NEUROCLIMA aims at establishing a mindset, articulated through processes, frameworks, services & interfaces for the support and establishment of systemic transformations and citizen engagement towards climate resilience by creating a nervous system, connecting policymakers, public institutions and citizens, based on innovative truly mixed Human-AI decision support. This nervous system will be explainable, trustworthy as well as reactive and proactive both to citizens’ concerns, environmental changes, and policymakers’ new proposals, creating a bidirectional relationship between citizens and public institutions. In order to achieve this, this nervous system will engage in rigorous research, by proposing monitoring mechanisms, in the directions of the EU Adaptation Strategy & the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. These monitoring mechanisms will monitor needs, pain points, expectations and dispositions as well as emerging trends and relevant themes that may affect directly or indirectly EU societies and help identify social and leverage tipping points. In order to facilitate meaningful change, listening to citizens’ expression, concerns and pain points but also the reasons why policies have been proposed, the project’s nervous system will lead to the proposal of engagement and assessment frameworks and toolkits, taking into account local and national specificities. In this way, a continuous dialogue between stakeholders will take place, helping shape new decisions but also foster trust and understanding towards rule-of-law institutions. Furthermore, the project will provide concrete recommendations of operational nature towards the facilitation of systemic change, accompanied with an ecosystem of tools, activities, services & interfaces that will provide guidance towards reaching the transformative tipping points for the establishment of more resilient EU societies.
