Wellington, New Zealand
Inspiring resident engagement on climate
Wellington is scaling its existing digital twin model to coordinate community action across the city to address climate change and move to a post-carbon future. The model creates a virtual, interactive reflection of the city, enabling a higher proportion of the residents to be involved in planning and action for climate mitigation. Rather than simply declaring a climate emergency, Wellington is engaging residents in bringing about change.

Here, residents can be seen using the DCM to visualize the impacts of varying levels of climate change and natural disasters, including a view of the potential effects within their local neighborhood.
