This Civic Innovation Challenge Full Award (CIVIC-FA) project addresses the risk of increasing temperatures in cities due to climate change. It develops and pilots a novel approach that integrates youth arts, science and technology, and spirituality. The planned activities provide governments and residents with rich data to guide their planning and mitigation efforts. The project brings together academic researchers, government officials, and civic organizers to facilitate healing from trauma and planning for the future. Central to climate change adaptation and resilience is the creation of meaningful roles for youth as well as a deep understanding of organizational partnerships. The project also explores how technology can make decision-making more inclusive.Within cities, historically marginalized neighborhoods often have measurably higher temperatures and fewer resources to reduce heat-related risks. Engaging with the residents living in those neighborhoods is critical yet difficult, due to the legacies of discriminatory urban planning practices that have left deep traumas. The Roanoke Method (trauma-informed resilience planning) is developed to support community well-being and healing through public policies. The project evaluates how participation in cross-organization partnerships affects conceptualizations of the problem of urban heat and potential solutions. The team also creates new digital platforms designed to present past, present, and future visions of the city in the context of shocks and disasters. The activities and training materials produced from the research-civic partnership could be transferable to other cities facing similar challenges including limited organizational capacity, mistrust between residents and government, and pressing needs to adapt built environments to climate change.The CIVIC Innovation Challenge is a collaboration with Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, and the National Science FoundationThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该公民创新挑战全额奖 (CIVIC-FA) 项目解决了气候变化导致城市气温升高的风险。它开发并试点了一种融合青年艺术、科学技术和灵性的新颖方法。计划的活动为政府和居民提供丰富的数据来指导他们的规划和缓解工作。该项目汇集了学术研究人员、政府官员和民间组织者，以促进创伤愈合和未来规划。气候变化适应和复原力的核心是为青年创造有意义的角色以及对组织伙伴关系的深刻理解。该项目还探讨了技术如何使决策更具包容性。在城市内，历史上被边缘化的社区往往气温明显较高，而用于减少与高温相关风险的资源却较少。由于歧视性城市规划做法留下了深刻的创伤，与居住在这些社区的居民进行接触至关重要但也很困难。罗阿诺克方法（创伤知情的复原力规划）的制定是为了通过公共政策支持社区福祉和康复。该项目评估了跨组织伙伴关系的参与如何影响城市供热问题和潜在解决方案的概念化。该团队还创建了新的数字平台，旨在展示城市在冲击和灾难背景下的过去、现在和未来愿景。研究与公民合作伙伴关系产生的活动和培训材料可以转移到面临类似挑战的其他城市，这些挑战包括有限的组织能力、居民和政府之间的不信任以及使建筑环境适应气候变化的迫切需要。公民创新挑战是一项合作与能源部、国土安全部和国家科学基金会合作该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
