Improved Initiative Communication:
Showcasing local initiatives for flood prevention, informing citizens and motivating businesses and investors to adopt community-oriented perspectives, investigating incentives for private sector engagement, and assessing the costs of flooding by industry and businesses. The platform provides a tangible representation of successful projects like the Green Flood Barrier, encouraging awareness, interest, and investment in urban development and climate change adaptation.
Motivating Businesses and Investors:
The platform motivates businesses and investors to adoptcommunity-oriented perspectives by showcasing local initiatives on flood prevention. It emphasizes the co-benefits and social responsibility of investing in urban development and climate change adaptation, aligning with the goals of the Esbjerg community. Investigation and Monitoring of Incentives:
The platform contributes to the investigation and monitoring of incentives for private sector engagement in urban development. It provides tangible examples of successful projects, fostering interest and incentivising investment.
The innovation was collaboratively developed by Atrium Environmental, an expert in water-related information dissemination and project development, and an environmental engineer with extensive research experience in climate extremes, hydrology and freshwater resilience. This partnership brought together the academic rigor and climate change specialised knowledge with the practical expertise and communication capabilities of Atrium Environmental. The collaborative development process involved synergising the research insights and hands-on experience of the environmental engineer with Atrium Environmental’s proficiency in creating effective information dissemination strategies. This dynamic collaboration ensured that the innovation benefited from both technical depth and practical applicability. The idea emerged organically during their joint exploration of a call related to water initiatives. Leveraging their complementary skills, the team at Atrium Environmental and the environmental engineer jointly conceptualised, refined, and developed the innovative solution for flood risk management, ensuring a robust and comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges posed by flooding in the Wadden Sea region.
The effectiveness of our innovation is contingent on several factors, and while we are enthusiastic about its potential, certain limitations and conditions need consideration.
Data availability and project participation: The innovation relies on the availability of data related to local flood prevention initiatives. If certain projects choose not to participate or provide data, the completeness of the database and map may be affected.
Feasibility of implementation: The successful integration of diverse local initiatives onto the website depends on the feasibility of gathering, organising, and presenting the information in a user-friendly manner. Technical, logistical, or resource constraints may impact the seamless implementation of all identified projects.
Community engagement: The innovation’s effectiveness is closely tied to community engagement. If there is limited community interest or participation, the impact may be diminished. Encouraging widespread involvement remains crucial for the success of the project.
Private sector cooperation: The motivation and involvement of private businesses in flood prevention projects are integral. The innovation’s success is contingent on the level of cooperation and engagement from the private sector. If this collaboration is limited, the overall impact may be lessened. However, with the video aiming to address the cost benefit of flooding prevention, we hope to reduce this.
Living Lab collaboration: The effectiveness of the Living Lab collaboration relies on sustained enthusiasm and active participation. Any downturn in engagement or collaboration with the Living Lab could impact the quality and relevance of information incorporated into the flood prevention framework.
Addressing these considerations proactively, ongoing communication with stakeholders, and continuous refinement of the implementation strategy will be crucial to overcoming potential limitations and ensuring the innovation’s sustained effectiveness.
