Gothenburg's digital twin has been used to test how to storm-proof the city. The goal is to develop an interactive tool to ensure that cloudburst requirements are followed in urban planning processes where different actors will be able to crash test measures to make good and sustainable decisions to prepare the city for cloudbursts.
Kristianstad is located in a low-lying, waterlogged area that is highly vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather.

During Transition Lab Forum 13 in Kristianstad, we will delve into how climate adaptation and climate change can be integrated into the development of a sustainable food system, which is more resilient, with increased competitiveness and which contributes to a good life for everyone within the planetary boundaries. What is being done today, and how can we further accelerate the transition to climate-neutral cities while adapting society to a changing climate and creating competitiveness and a good life for all?
