Climate Innovation Hub (CIH)

A municipal hub combining climate data, permanent exhibitions, and citizen-driven events to enhance awareness, foster innovation, and co-design local adaptation strategies.

Climate awareness
Citizen participation
Innovation generation

Egaleo faces multiple climate hazards—heatwaves, urban flash floods, and environmental degradation. The CIH responds by transforming an underutilized facility into a dynamic space where data, education, and community meet. It tackles misinformation, limited engagement, and poor access to climate knowledge, providing the tools and environment for informed action.

How does it work?

The Climate Innovation Hub (CIH) is a hybrid space combining climate literacy, real-time data, and community engagement. Located in a municipal facility, it hosts a static exhibition on climate change and TransformAr’s actions in Egaleo, while displaying live climate data from the Smart Climate Stations (SCS). Through hackathons, educational events, and open data access, CIH fosters a new culture of climate resilience and participatory innovation.

As part of TransformAr, the Municipality of Egaleo converted a multipurpose building into a Climate Innovation Hub (CIH). This transformation included:
•A permanent exhibition highlighting climate change causes, local risks, and municipal adaptation efforts.
•A live data wall streaming environmental indicators from 21 Smart Climate Stations (e.g., temperature, PM 2.5, humidity, CO₂).
•An events programme with “Open Green Days,” climate hackathons, and school visits where students analyzed real-world data to design climate solutions.
The CIH serves as both a data dissemination center and an engagement space. Citizens, students, SMEs, and civil society interact with municipal datasets to gain insights and co-develop adaptation ideas. Events such as the Hackathon and Living Labs increase data literacy and empower the local population to shape climate responses collaboratively.
CIH is not just a knowledge provider — it is a local innovation catalyst, offering transferable value to other cities aiming to link technology, policy, and people.

Requires sustained institutional commitment, data system upkeep, and community buy-in to remain impactful.
