DREVEN contributes to the project through specialized staff with experience in climate, social, and economic sciences and information technology, undertaking the management and coordination of the project and its individual actions. Its involvement ensures scientific validity, methodological consistency, and the connection of the action with the broader European and national climate adaptation framework. DREVEN is leading the development of a digital application (maps, QR, real-time participation, content accessibility, connection with sensors), which, as an information and participation tool, will provide citizens with data that is currently unavailable or not easily understandable—such as air quality and thermal comfort indicators—and will allow for the recording of observations and suggestions in real time. In addition, DREVEN, in collaboration with the Municipality of Ilion, will design Climate Walks with the aim of capturing and highlighting the lived experience of citizens in their daily lives as a means of understanding the challenges posed by climate change in urban areas, with the basic principle of equal participation of all social groups, especially the most vulnerable. Finally, DREVEN will participate actively in the pilot implementation of the walks as well as in their full implementation, while also playing an active role in the collection of feedback data.
