The Alpine region, and therefore also the border region between Salzburg and Bavaria, is particularly affected by climate change. The effects are becoming increasingly visible and noticeable due to the increase in extreme weather events such as heat and drought periods, heavy rainfall, hailstorms, forest fires and storms. It is therefore all the more important to proactively take appropriate measures to adapt to climate change and thus reduce the negative effects.

Programm goal

Priority axis 2 “Resilient environment” addresses the specific natural development conditions in the program area. The focus is therefore on proactively dealing with and adapting to the effects of climate change and biodiversity.

Project goals

In Twin4Clim, use cases in the context of climate adaptation and corresponding analysis models are being developed in close cooperation between RSA FG iSPACE and TU Munich, and urban digital twins are being set up in municipalities based on the flexible SDDI approach (Smart District Data Infrastructure), a framework for the application-driven management of urban digital twins. Common standards ensure cross-border interoperability and compatibility with existing systems of the data, processes and methods used in Twin4Clim and enable transferability to other municipalities.

The innovation transfer organizations of the states of Salzburg and Bavaria focus on the broad transfer of knowledge to municipalities, service providers, regional/national authorities, interest groups, sectoral agencies & the public through ongoing cross-border transfer events, workshops and innovative formats such as an innovation & startup challenge.
