The pressure on cities to speed up the process of emissions reduction from pollutants and climate gases is overwhelming. The required measures are likely to be found not only in technological development but also in the required social transformations. These transformations include increasing citizen involvement and engagement with science and policy, increasing awareness of the underlying issues and promoting societal actions to protect the urban environment. CitiObs will support citizen observatories to create/enhance/or scale up inclusive and diverse citizen observatories, fostering in particular an active role of citizens in the observation of the urban environment using low-cost sensor technologies and wearables, with a particular focus on air quality and related environmental measures.
CitiObs will consolidate and apply tools and practice-based knowledge for co-creating data, knowledge and local action via Citizen Observatories. To ensure broad use, the CitiObs tools and approaches will be developed in co-creation with Citizen Observatories in 5 Frontrunner cities, finetuned with 30 Implementer cities and showcased to 50 Fellow cities.
DRAXIS will design and develop a Decision Support System which will gather and visualise all project’s data. Moreover, DRAXIS supports the project’s activities in Athens, one of the five Frontrunner cities.
