Periodic Reporting for period 2 - I-CHANGE (Individual Change of HAbits Needed for Green European transition)
Période du rapport: 2023-05-01 au 2024-04-30
The EIH serves as a key technological foundation for the innovative processes introduced by the I-CHANGE project. It leverages mobile technologies and citizen science to promote behavioral changes aimed at adapting to climate change. The deployment of the EIH holds significant potential for advancing citizen science, particularly in how observations are shared and utilized. By establishing a dedicated Citizen Observatory and an advanced broker that connects it with other relevant data sources, we can seamlessly integrate citizen science observations with external data for validation and information generation. This unified access to diverse data through a single API will empower app developers to create mobile and desktop applications that gather sensor data and provide valuable feedback to users. Additionally, the development of a dashboard will shed light on the pressing challenges posed by a changing climate, such as air pollution, indoor and outdoor heatwaves, flooding, landslides, and storms.
Taking an active and early approach to exploitation, I-CHANGE is developing key exploitable results aimed at achieving successful outcomes and promoting environmentally conscious behavior in society. I-CHANGE has established robust partnerships across Europe and beyond, linking projects with local and national authorities. We're gathering insights on behavioral changes and adaptation strategies to create a practical guide for citizens. Discussions among diverse local stakeholders have kicked off in the Forums, and the findings will be compiled into a manifesto. I-CHANGE is also looking into different methods to maximize the use of the sensor data collected throughout the project.
