CAIRGOBIKE Project

Location: Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium

Description: CAIRGOBIKE is designed to improve air quality in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) by accelerating a modal shift from car/van to cargo bike to transport children, deliver goods and services through an integrated ecosystem of complementary nudging strategies. This innovative ecosystem will convert citizens and professionals to cargo bike use, ease the access to cargo bikes and create parking facilities. User community (citizens/businesses and non-profit) will be directly involved in air quality measurement and communication.

List of parameters measured: Temperature, Humidity, Black Carbon

Increasing Community Resilience in Climate Adaptation Process Project

Location: İstanbul, Türkiye

Description: With the establishment of the “Kadıköy Municipality Environmental Monitoring and Early Warning System”; We aim to create a resilient structure guided/supported by the local government with participation at the neighborhood scale and to raise awareness about climate change. Data is transferred to the "Kadıköy Municipality Environmental Monitoring and Early Warning System" for the detection of emergencies such as air pollution and heat wave/heat island effect that adversely affect public health, especially the fragile population.
