Climate Data Governance

Description

The authors analyzed digital political networks and specific applications in Berlin and Brandenburg, and identified case studies in terms of implementation, objectives, and climate relevance. In an open policy paper, the researchers criticize the fact that the potential of digitalization for climate protection measures in the public sector has not yet been sufficiently exploited in the two federal states.

Results

The research team found examples of applications in which this combination has already proven successful, particularly in the mobility sector and in terms of heat prevention. One approach to promoting more climate-friendly transport is the “Jelbi” app, which combines both mobility sharing offers and public transport connections in a user-friendly way. One example of the use of artificial intelligence to mitigate heat is the AI-supported “Quantified Trees (QTrees)” irrigation project, which provides early warnings of compromised city trees.
