Animation Episode 2 – The Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin  

The episode explores how the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin (Climate DT) can support adaptations efforts by harnessing high-resolution climate models, next-generation supercomputers, innovative digital technologies and flexible workflows. It helps understand how the Climate DT can be applied in real-world scenarios, from helping cities mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect to preparing for extreme flooding. With the ability to simulate future climate conditions and “what-if” scenarios at an unprecedented scale, it offers a powerful tool for building resilience and safeguarding communities.  

About the Climate Change Adaptation Digital Twin  

The Climate DT represents the first ever attempt to operationalise the production of global multi-decadal climate projections, leveraging the world-leading supercomputing facilities of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking along with some of the leading European climate models. It is implemented by a partnership led by CSC, currently involving 12 leading climate institutions, supercomputing centres, national meteorological services, academia and industrial partners, through a contract procured by ECMWF.
