TransformAr Open Day – City of Egaleo

TransformAr Open Day – City of Egaleo The event aims to present the TransformAr European project, in which the municipality of Εgaleo participates as a Demonstrator city. The project addresses the impacts of climate change, specifically extreme weather events(heat waves)  affecting the city of Εgaleo, predictions for climate change in the coming years, and how this can be addressed. In particular, these events could increase water consumption by residents and could increase water demands for green spaces.

The open day includes, among other things, the presentation of the project’s implementation to the community of Εgaleo, including educators, students, residents, professionals, policy makers, and experts in the field. More specifically, MoE will install smart climate stations (SCS) at key municipal buildings to acquire a view of the microclimatic conditions. A citizen app (CAE) will allow inhabitants to participate in the debate around CC, the changes of the microclimate and potential solutions.

Awarenessraising modules (AWAR) will be designed, especially for young people and school pupils to promote climate awareness. In addition, a climate innovation hub (CIH) will be installed to promote green and climate friendly entrepreneurship. Finally, a demand analysis for social services/infrastuctures (DSI) will be conducted. Additionally, best practices from programs with a common goal will be presented.
