Project description
Supporting cities to take up the carbon-neutral challenge
In line with the Horizon Europe mission area "climate-neutral and smart cities," the EU-funded CLIMABOROUGH project will field-test the ClimHub, Climate Sandbox and Climate Service concepts to support European cities to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. The project will enhance traditional urban and spatial planning approaches through innovative procurement. In addition to enhancing an open set of tools leveraging climate transition in cities, the project will also boost the exchange of experimental good practices, experiences and lessons learnt. For instance, the project will work on an ambitious communication on carbon neutrality to harness the knowledge of local stakeholders, and it will deploy prototypes to facilitate transformation. Eight leader cities will mentor four other cities in replicating their services.
Objective
CLIMABOROUGH is an Innovation project designed to field test the ClimHub, Climate Sandbox and Climate Service concepts within 12 European Cities engaged in their ecological and digital transition. The project aims to enhance traditional urban and spatial planning approaches through data and knowledge based decision making (including a possible new role for GIS - Geographic Information Systems), including climate services co-production for transitions, cross-city and cross-country pilot co-creation as well as the tactical use of public procurement of innovative solutions. The goal is not just to enhance an open set of tools leveraging climate transition in cities, but also to boost the exchange of experimental good practices, experiences and lessons learnt in this field, to help cities meet climate neutrality by 2050. This will be achieved by the following expected results: (A) building ClimHubs of Cities and solution providers to work on experimentations in real conditions, (B) harnessing the collective intelligence of local stakeholders for collaborative solution development, (C) defining Climate Services as a model strategy to use data and visualisation tools for climate transition, (D) field testing the Climate Sandbox concept as a way to prioritise and facilitate transformation of successfully deployed prototypes into established solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation in cities, and (E) monitoring and assessing the progress in achieving those goals and in implementing a climate neutrality planning scheme. Based on the lessons learnt and successful concept of the H2020 Designscapes CSA, CLIMABOROUGH has the ambition to bridge the gap between design and implementation of urban innovations, particularly in the domain of climate change adaptation and mitigation.
