Climate Resilience
Climate change is a worldwide, systemic challenge, and it demands a systems-based approach. A number of projects utilising The World Avatar have been used to show the benefits of this connected methodology and how better information and coordination enables providers to identify better solutions. Collaboration through connected digital twins is key to effectively tackling global climate change.
Each of the demonstrations below was created using elements of The World Avatar to drive innovation in the field of digital twins, and show how a connected, network-of-networks approach can be used to tackle the climate issue.

CReDo (Latest)
In 2022, temperatures in the UK surpassed 40°C for the first time in recorded history. The overall additional cost to Anglian Water customers from the impact of this extreme heat event was valued at £2.9m, which includes additional energy costs associated with keeping assets cool enough to operate. Extreme heat is happening now, and it is even more likely to occur in the future. The water sector is only just beginning to understand the effect of these extreme heat events on asset failure.
In this phase, Anglian Water worked alongside the CReDo team to address this problem and improve the water sector’s understanding of the impact of extreme heat on assets.
