KNOWING Climate
@knowing-climate.bsky.social
HorizonEurope research project. KNOWING analyses the interaction of mitigation and adaptation measures. We help to identify the most suitable actions.
Cities won’t stay livable by 2050 unless mitigation and adaptation become one strategy.
Flood risks, heatwaves, energy demand and mobility issues all interact. SECAPs rarely show the full picture. Without assessing how measures influence each other, good intentions can turn into bad outcomes.

We need backup for climate transformation.
And we’ll find it where we usually overlook: in civil society.
A global survey shows that 89% of people want more climate action from their governments. We keep underestimating this massive willingness. But that is exactly where progress starts.

In South Westphalia, data shows that wind energy expansion in forested areas barely reduces CO₂ storage and when paired with smart reforestation, overall emissions drop.
Climate neutrality doesn’t have to mean ecological trade-offs.

Catalan city of #Granollers is tackling rising #floodrisk from its River. Nature-based solutions help with infiltration & delayed runoff peaks but simulations from KNOWING show they can’t reduce flooding enough during long, heavy rains.

Spain’s climate transition is reshaping its cities.
In Granollers, near Barcelona, the focus lies on how to adapt urban infrastructure to #riverflooding while reducing emissions and improving quality of life.

The KNOWING Behaviour Model, developed by #AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, is based on survey data from over 6,000 respondents. It identifies six coping types & links behavioural responses to climate measures.

🌍 Cities need a strong team to defend against climate change! 🤾
In KNOWING, our domain models work together like players on the same field. Together, they create a coordinated strategy, helping municipalities like Granollers to adapt more effectively. Here’s our line-up in Granollers:

How much can one extreme flood cost? In Naples modelling shows up to €463M per event, depending on the climate scenario (SSP) and which measures the city implements. Ambitious adaptation and climate awareness can cut costs by up to €270M per event vs inaction. #ClimateAdaptation #Naples

🌆 Tallinn under heat stress
Estonia’s capital is getting hotter. As part of the #KNOWING project, Tallinn uses 9 climate & impact models to simulate urban heat, health risks, energy needs and adaptation.
Goal: a greener, cooler, more resilient city by 2050.

KNOWING uses 3 model types:
1️⃣ Climate – e.g. WRF
→ Forecasts heat, rain, extremes
2️⃣ Sector – e.g. CLUMondo
→ Simulates land use, energy, mobility
3️⃣ Impact – e.g. PALM-4U
→ Assesses effects on health & infrastructure
