About the project

City4Climate develops a Digital Twin platform to support real-time climate governance in Lisbon, Porto, and Guimarães. By creating 3D virtual models that integrate live data and simulate scenarios such as emissions, air quality, and energy use, the project enables cities to make faster, data-driven decisions. Its goal is to accelerate the path to carbon neutrality while strengthening urban resilience and sustainability.

The challenge

Cities are responsible for over 70% of global CO₂ emissions and are among the most vulnerable to climate change. Yet, outdated monitoring models slow down progress toward carbon neutrality. To close this gap, City4Climate harnesses Digital Twins — real-time 3D models that integrate data and predictive analytics — allowing cities to test, simulate, and refine climate policies dynamically, and accelerate their path to a sustainable, resilient future.
