Maximising well-being with AI under deep climate turmoil - MA'AT

This project aims to create a proof-of-concept to help cities prepare for the challenges that come with climate change, especially when it comes to dealing with heavy rainfall and flooding. With the aim of maximising wellbeing, MA'AT uses artificial intelligence (AI) together with a digital twin that simulates mobility and climate events, to search for the best adaptation strategies in the long run, given a mix of health, environmental, and social factors.
Using Copenhagen as a case study, potential strategies range from infrastructure changes (e.g., a new type of pavement) to policy options (e.g., working from home) or traffic control strategies. To make these predictions, MA'AT uses existing research and data as a starting point, refining its forecasts over a two-year period. The goal is to create a versatile tool that can help not just Copenhagen but other cities to make smarter decisions for a future affected by climate change.
