🌍🚀 Recap from #URBIS24: Showcasing a Digital Twin for Urban Heat Mortality Risk Assessment We are pleased to share that CARMINE’s partner, the National Observatory of Athens, had the honor of presenting at the #URBIS24 Workshop, hosted by ESA/ESRIN in Frascati, Italy, on September 17th. The presentation, "From Space to Lives Saved: A Digital Twin for Heat-Related Mortality Risk Assessment in Urban Areas," delivered by Iphigenia Keramitsoglou, sparked insightful discussions on innovative solutions for building urban resilience. 🏙️ As part of the CARMINE Project, the National Observatory of Athens showcased how their Digital Twin (DT) leverages cutting-edge Machine Learning techniques 🤖 and diverse urban data sources to estimate heat-related mortality. This powerful tool integrates real-time data streams, urban indicators, and socio-economic variables, offering both long-term projections and real-time insights to manage heatwaves more effectively. 🌡️ This Digital Twin represents a significant step forward, empowering policymakers and public health authorities to implement targeted Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and allocate resources strategically, while reinforcing urban resilience to extreme heat. A big thank you to the European Space Agency - ESA (ESA) and the #URBIS24 community for the opportunity to share CARMINE’s insights and for an inspiring exchange of ideas! 🙌 #EarthObservation #UrbanHeat #UrbanResilience #DigitalTwin #MachineLearning #CARMINEProject #ClimateAction #NbS #DestinE #ESA #EOForCities 🌍🚀
