TiCCA4Danu proposes a novel transformative innovation framework to accelerate just climate change adaptation (CCA) at the level of cities and their surrounding administrative regions. It features a systems-level approach, which requires effective governance changes, introduction of directionality, and a different use of policy instruments favouring discovery and experimentation processes.
At the core of its methodological approach lies the concept of place-based “Transformative Innovation Policy” (TIP). TiCCA4Danu applys the theoretical TIP concept to the city-region level by linking TIP to “Local Green Deals” (LGD), an established instrument for sustainable transformation at the city level.
TiCCA4Danu focuses its activities on four "Anchor Cities" and their surrounding regions in the Danube Macro Region and establishes a direct link to the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR).
VDI/VDE-IT coordinates the project.
