Welcome to DISCO
Authorities in the North Sea region urgently need to accelerate climate change adaptation (CCA). But it is difficult for them to decide which measures to take. There is so much data to take into account and also many stakeholders that need to be engaged fairly and on time.
Digital tools like AR, VR, and digital twins can help. Authorities can use them to have complex data converted into clear visuals. This enables a shared vision of solutions, especially with citizens and other stakeholders. However, relying more on digital tools requires investment and trust between authorities, the digital sector, and stakeholders. DISCO addresses this by developing a three-step approach: identifying needs, co-creating solutions, and ensuring sustainability, leading to:
a. an increased innovation power
b. plans to break down barriers for innovation
c. useful digital solutions for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) that can be replicated.
DISCO aims to boost the innovation power of authorities in the North Sea region, ensuring digital solutions do accelerate CCA. This leads to enhanced innovation, the removal of barriers, and replicable, lasting digital solutions for climate adaptation across the North Sea region.
