CLIMATE-FIT: Arctik’s new project helps cities tackle climate change

As sweltering heatwaves hit cities across Europe, Arctik, together with 13 European partners, kicked off a new EU project on urban climate adaptation.
CLIMATE-FIT aims at encouraging a genuine market uptake of urban climate services in Europe; the end goal is to establish a European-wide service that, by means of a network of local business intermediaries, will translate the best available scientific urban climate data into added-value information for a wide range of actors in cities.
Arctik will lead the dissemination and marketing activities of this 30-month H2020 Innovation Action project. Our #CreativeArctik team will establish the project’s visual identity and branding as well as design the PUCS public website. A vast array of further outreach actions (media relations, social media engagement, workshops and training, roadshows, policy briefs, to name a few) will also be undertaken to maximise the project’s impact.
In addition to leading the project’s communications, Arctik will also coordinate the evaluation of the CLIMATE-FIT services that are to be implemented in the project’s sectoral demonstration cases. This will include establishing an objective evaluation framework for service evaluation and conducting interviews with end-users.
The first demonstration cases will be implemented in Antwerp, Barcelona, Bern, Prague, Rome and Vienna in the sectors of energy, cultural heritage, mobility, health and urban planning.
