Even though information about climate change has increasingly become more available, it is difficult to gather concise information, and science-based adaptation and mitigation options. The aim of the three-year multidisciplinary and multinational project CLIMEMPOWER: USER DRIVEN CLIMATE APPLICATIONS EMPOWERING REGIONAL RESILIENCE (HORIZON-MISS-2022-CLIMA-01-01, starting date September 1, 2023) is to empower regions with high climate change vulnerability and low coping capacity. The coordinator of the Project is the Austrian Institute of Technology and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at Zagreb University (FER) is one of the partners. The implementation of the Project encompasses improving understanding of climate change hazards and risks in vulnerable regions, providing them with information on resilient development pathways, and supporting knowledge-based planning and development, all by providing them with relevant data, knowledge, and user-defined and user-friendly decision support applications. FER will provide support for the data analysis and information dissemination, as well as create educational materials and interactive tools aimed at end-users and the general public. Furthermore, the Faculty will organize workshops and liaise with institutions that can either provide pertinent information or that can benefit from the data gathered by this project. The Project overview will be presented in the contribution: its partners, regions and objectives, as well as expected outcomes.

Danas informacije o klimatskim promjenama postaju sve dostupnije, no teško je prikupiti sažete informacije i znanstveno utemeljene mogućnosti prilagodbe i ublažavanja. Cilj trogodišnjeg multidisciplinarnog i multinacionalnog projekta CLIMEMPOWER: USER DRIVEN CLIMATE APPLICATIONS EMPOWERING REGIONAL RESILIENCE (HORIZON-MISS-2022-CLIMA-01-01, početak projekta 01. 09. 2023.) je osnažiti regije s visokom ranjivošću na klimatske promjene i niskim kapacitetom za suočavanje s njima. Koordinator Projekta je Austrian Institute of Technology, a Fakultet elektrotehnike i računarstva Sveučilišta u Zagrebu (FER) je jedan od partnera. Provođenje Projekta obuhvaća poboljšavanje razumijevanja opasnosti i rizika od klimatskih promjena u ranjivim regijama, pružanje informacija o otpornim razvojnim putovima i podupiranje planiranja i razvoja temeljenog na znanju. Projekt će prikupljati i pružati relevantne podatke, znanje i korisnički definirane i korisniku prilagođene aplikacije za podršku odlučivanju. FER će osigurati podršku analizi podataka i diseminaciji informacija te izraditi edukativne materijale i interaktivne alate namijenjene krajnjim korisnicima i široj javnosti. Nadalje, Fakultet će organizirati radionice i surađivati s institucijama koje mogu pružiti relevantne informacije ili koje mogu imati koristi od podataka prikupljenih ovim projektom. U prezentaciji će ukratko biti predstavljen Projekt, partneri, regije te ciljevi i postignuća koja se od Projekta očekuju.
