CARDIMED Insights Hub

CARDIMED Insights is an interactive platform that turns environmental and nature-based solution (NbS) performance data (weather, air quality, water systems) into data stories and playful dashboards. It helps Mediterranean cities and regions make evidence-based local decisions, engage citizens, and monitor climate resilience over time.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select a CARDIMED demo site, region, dashboard or data story.
  • Explore observed weather, air-quality, water-system and NbS-performance data.
  • Review site descriptions explaining what is measured and how to interpret it.

Output

  • Interactive maps and graphs.
  • NbS performance and environmental indicators.
  • Data stories and demo-site examples.
  • Dashboards exportable as PNG or PDF.

Use it to

  • Monitor environmental conditions and NbS performance.
  • Communicate local evidence to citizens and decision-makers.
  • Support awareness-raising and evaluation of implemented interventions.
  • Reuse dashboard outputs in local reporting and engagement.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Focuses on measured evidence from nature-based solutions that are already built and operating, making it useful for monitoring and public communication rather than hypothetical option appraisal. Its accessible dashboards help reduce the gap between technical evidence and citizen engagement, but results are site-specific, update frequency varies and the hub provides no climate projections or cost-benefit analysis.

Used in

  • CARDIMED nature-based solution demo sites and regions in the Mediterranean.
  • Local monitoring of weather, air quality, water systems and implemented NbS.
  • Technical monitoring and citizen communication through the same evidence base.
  • Live public platform in active development within the CARDIMED project.
