Digital Twins Visual Communication.
The Climate Adaptation Digital Twin is an initiative by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) that uses next-generation climate models to deliver high-resolution, interactive simulations addressing real-world climate challenges.
To support the communication of this work, Vizzuality developed the Digital Twins Visual Communication website: a dedicated site designed to make complex climate data accessible and engaging for a wide audience.
By showcasing practical use cases such as renewable energy planning in the Iberian Peninsula, the website helps users - ranging from the general public to policymakers and energy planners - understand how advanced climate data can inform decisions on issues like wind farm placement, urban heat adaptation, and more.
The result is a powerful tool that encourages informed action and connects research with real-world impact.
High-resolution climate insights.
Advanced simulations to provide detailed, high-resolution climate data, and a clearer understanding of climate patterns.
Scenario exploration.
It enables users to model and test "what-if" scenarios, empowering policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to plan effective climate adaptation strategies.
User-centered design.
Designed with an intuitive interface, the website ensures that complex climate data is accessible and actionable.
The Digital Twins Visual Communication project was both ambitious and technically demanding, requiring the translation of complex, high-resolution climate data into an accessible and impactful digital experience. One of the main challenges was making advanced simulations and long-term climate projections understandable to a broad audience.
We added value by prioritizing user-centered design and crafting intuitive visualizations that distilled complexity while preserving scientific accuracy. This approach ensured that the website remained both engaging and credible, bridging the gap between cutting-edge climate science and public understanding.
