Abstract

Climate change phenomena represent the most serious threats to human well-being and sustainable development.This affects several dimensions of human life from individual health issues to economic growth, passing through civil protection, with strong impacts on European territories and in several other orld regions. The I-CHANGE project faces the challenge of engaging and promoting the active participation of citizens for addressing climate change, sustainable development and environmental protection in the framework of the European Green Deal, the European Climate Pact and the European Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
The overall driving concept is that citizens and civil society have a central role in the definition of environmental protection and climate action and their direct involvement is essential to drive a true shift and promotion of changes of behaviors towards more sustainable patterns. I

Obiettivi

I-CHANGE represents a change of paradigm achievable through a multi-disciplinary and participatory approach: improvement of data usability - citizen awareness raises through the observation of the environmental impacts of human activities; active participation of citizens - the active involvement of citizens through a set of Living Labs (LLs) located in different socio-economic contexts; climate change awareness - the development of clear understanding for citizens of the scientific processes underlying climate change and environmental protections.
The main objective of I-CHANGE is to raise awareness on climate issues through the direct collection of environmental and socio-economic data with novel and user-friendly tools (sensors, monitoring devices, simplified models and data resources). The promotion of a co-designed learning path aims to improve citizen knowledge of climate change related harmful impacts, and understand the role of nature-based solutions in mitigating impacts. A further step is to empower citizen with targeted and personalized tools (apps, best-practices) enabling behavioural and consumption shift towards sustainable patterns.
