The Burgenland pilot focuses on three key climate challenges addressed within the project: heat and drought, flooding, and biodiversity. The dashboard aims to provide decision-makers with accessible and actionable climate information that supports planning and implementation of adaptation measures.
A central principle of the pilot is co-development. During the workshop, stakeholders contributed their perspectives and practical requirements to ensure that the dashboard reflects real policy and operational needs. The involvement of administrative and political actors at the regional level, as local stakeholders, plays a crucial role in shaping a tool that is both practical and relevant.
The pilot activities will continue in the coming months with additional workshops at the municipal level, involving mayors, representatives of regional climate adaptation initiatives (KLAR! regions), and nature park managers. These discussions will further refine the dashboard and explore its potential applications in local decision-making processes.
In addition, the dashboard will be presented to a broader audience during the Lange Nacht der Forschung 2026 on 24 April 2026, providing an opportunity to share the results and engage with the wider public.
By bringing together scientific knowledge, digital tools, and stakeholder expertise, the Burgenland pilot aims to develop a practical decision-support instrument for climate change adaptation in the region.
