Introducing the Climate Resilience Demonstrator (CReDo)

The STFC Hartree Centre is a partner in a new collaboration to develop a digital twin across key networks to demonstrate how connected data and greater access to information can improve climate adaptation and resilience.

The National Digital Twin programme (NDTp) and partners launched the Climate Resilience Demonstrator in November 2021, releasing two exciting public engagement pieces for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26):

A poignant short film, Tomorrow Today shows clearly the essential role of infrastructure resilience in the climate emergency
An interactive app allows users to explore how connected digital twins can help plan for better resilience.
