EVOKED
Enhancing the value of climate data
The EVOKED project tailors the presentation and specification of climate data to the individual user’s knowledge and needs, thus enhancing the value of the data. EVOKED will help translate risk and uncertainty utilizing a Living Labs approach. The process of userdriven presentation of data will help improve the interface between the climate science community and policy makers with regard to adaptation measures to address the impacts of climate change. The project team will engage end-users in a Living Labs approach at established case study sites in Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.
-
EVOKED has developed a common understanding of what a Living Labis and how it is bound in time and space.
-
Key principles of Living Labspracticed at the different case study sites include: continuity, openness, realism, influence, value and sustainability.
-
As one central Co-Design activity, all EVOKED partners have developed local socioeconomic scenarios consistent with the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)to assess climate change risks at the case study sites. Scenario narratives have been drafted based on the local scenarios and the local contexts. For example, Flensburg developed narratives for a Sustainable Flensburg, The old Flensburg, an Aging and shrinking Flensburg, and Fossil-fueled Flensburg. Similar narratives were also developed for Larvik and subsequently created into illustrations that have been communicated to both local youth and politicians.

About
EVOKED’s end-user partners have a central role in the project with activities tailored to
their needs. The end-users have also identified specific areas where EVOKED can enhance
the value of their ongoing climate adaptation processes. They have indicated that EVOKED
will contribute to: improve the visualization of climate data for the local authorities, find
ways to communicate the integrated risks associated with a changing climate, improve the
access and applicability of climate knowledge, learn how the collaborating governments
are able to shape the preparedness of communities at risk, as well as support in assessing
vulnerability and in exploring potential adaptation options.

Project leader
I am Amy Oen and my current research interests focus on the effects of climate change with regard to water quality and the assessment of risk reduction measures to include nature-based solutions. I enjoy working at the interface between academia, industry and government to achieve acceptable solutions. As project leader for EVOKED, I have a keen interest in exploring synergies and knowledge exchange with the project parters and case study site stakeholders.
