RESCUEME

Equitable RESilience solutions to strengthen the link between CUltural landscapEs and coMmunitiEs

RescueME will demonstrate how an innovative data-driven, community-based, heritage-centric actionable landscape approach to resilience enhancement can protect our cultural heritage and landscapes while supporting the transition toward a green society and economy. RescueME will develop, test and demonstrate the effectiveness of an actionable framework complemented by data, models, methods, and tools able to assess risks and opportunities, co-develop inclusive and just resilience strategies and innovative solutions. RescueME’s overarching aim is to protect European cultural heritage and cultural landscapes from climate change, disaster risk, as well as other stressors (such as pollution and over-tourism) with special focus on European coastal landscapes. Five case studies (Psiloritis in Creta, Neuwerk in Hamburg, Portovenere, Cinque Terre & the Islands, València and the city of Zadar) have been selected carefully as complementary representatives of European coastal landscapes. They will act as resilience landscape laboratories (R-labscapes) to validate the project results and ensure their replicability. 

DRAXIS will deliver a geospatial data intelligent platform for resilience. It will be designed as a platform for heterogeneous data aggregation, processing, and visualisation, combining data from multiple sources, including open data and in-situ data, at the European and local level. DRAXIS will also lead the definition of the technical specifications of the digital solutions in the project.
