TerraDT Workshop: Urban Impact Models for Climate Adaptation
TerraDT Workshop: Urban Impact Models for Climate Adaptation
TerraDT is organising an Urban Impact Model Workshop in Barcelona this February, bringing together public and private stakeholders working at the intersection of cities, climate adaptation and decision-making.
The workshop will showcase how TerraDT’s urban impact models translate high-resolution climate and environmental data into actionable insights for cities. Participants will explore use cases relevant to urban planning and climate adaptation policies with a focus on heat stress, air quality, extreme events, and their impacts on people, infrastructure, and assets. The event will also host experts from our sister project UrbanAIR, the digital twin for urban climate action.
Who should attend?
Designed for city and urban planners, local and national authorities, weather and health services and environmental agencies, but also for real estate investors and insurance companies, the event will offer a space to engage directly with scientists and model developers. Through targeted presentations and interactive discussions, attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how digital twins can support evidence-based policies, resilient urban development, and informed strategies for more resilient cities.
The workshop also aims to gather feedback from practitioners, ensuring that TerraDT’s urban impact models respond to real-world needs and decision contexts. Participants will leave with practical insights into how advanced climate modelling can be integrated into planning, risk management, and long-term urban strategies.
By bringing together scientists, model developers and end-users, TerraDT offers a practical space to discuss integration, usability and feedback loops that are essential for strengthening DestinE’s downstream applications in climate adaptation and urban resilience.
Trust-IT's Role
Trust-IT Services supports the TerraDT project by co-leading communication and dissemination activities to maximise the visibility, understanding, and uptake of project results. Trust-IT designs and implements strategic outreach actions, develops clear and effective communication assets, and supports the organisation and promotion of key project events, including this workshop.
By translating TerraDT’s scientific and technical advances into clear, audience-oriented communication, Trust-IT ensures that the workshop’s outcomes and model capabilities are presented in a way that resonates with policy-makers, planners, service providers and private-sector stakeholders. The Urban Impact Model Workshop represents a key step (not milestone) within TerraDT’s dissemination roadmap, gathering insights from end-users and highlighting early model applications, demonstrating how digital twin simulations can inform practical decision-making. Through this event, Trust-IT supports greater awareness of how TerraDT contributes to the evolution of operational, user-driven climate and environmental services that are useful to local communities and enrich the Destination Earth ecosystem.
